Thanks a lot for replying to my message, you give me hope that I can receive the tax credit. Ok I will do what you suggest and find a different tax place.I'm hoping for the best….GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Thanks for stopping by and reading everything. Sorry to hear about your dilemma. I will start with what I have said a few dozen times, I am not an attorney, or a certified public accountant nor am I an employee of the I.R.S. But with all that being said, and from the information you have provided my understanding of the tax code does allow you to file for the $8000 FTHB tax credit.

One thing that concerns me is what you have said about “the tax place” I assume you are talking about a tax preparer such as H.R. Block or similar, and not the Internal Revenue Service. If that is the case, get a new tax place or talk to their supervisors. Even if you already filed your 2010 Federal Return, it is not too late to talk to a C.P.A. or just file the claim yourself (the link to the paperwork is to the right) Now if you are talking about the I.R.S. you need to make them understand you have not had a homesteaded property for the last 3 years. A mobile home is personal property, not real property as I have mentioned here before. Even if you had a 12+ month lease for the land, or the dirt the mobile home is on it should not matter.

I do not typically deal with mobile homes, but there is nothing special when it comes to the tax credit, you are just going to have to establish some proof to the IRS. But I suspect the problem is with a tax preparer not as informed as they should be with the tax credit.

It is unlikely the homestead will actually be put in your name in the systems till after February because they are busy processing payments and everything before that, but the application date is what is importantl — I believe you are good to go. Otherwise, and this is another way to look at it, how would all of my clients in the middle of last year been able to apply and receive their tax credits when most definitively their homestead had not yet been applied, but the deed was recorded usually within a couple weeks. I also suspect this is why some people complain about taking so long to get their checks — the title companies they used, or sellers (as in banks) may have not gotten things recorded in a timely manner. Hope this helps, and always feel free to give me a call if I can help in any way.
