The current stimulus package at the senate has a provision to eliminate the need to repay the 7500, that is why carlsbad posted this thread, he missed it by a day because the freebie is only for 2009 buyers, Dec 31 2008 buyer is on the hook to repay. Sorry of I got the non resident alien thing wrong, I followed the link to the IRS website and went through the flow chart as if I was an illegal alien, guess what, I qualified. I realize it is highly unlikely that an illegal alien would file taxes and get the credit or buy a house, I was just being pissy cause I get jipped again. I never get the stimulus checks, the child tax credit or the bailout because of my income, truth be told I should be more thankful of my numbers and not begrudge anyone their freebies. Occasionaly I have male PMS and realize that I am paying for everyone else’s party. Plus I was tense about the laker/cavs game, my apologies. It’s halftime and it is tied so I guess all is right with the world, everyone take my money, I don’t care, I’ll get more, at least I have my good looks.
