Here's your Government at work with YOUR money.
Did you know that if you haven't owned a home within the last 3 years and purchased one between April 2008 and July 2009 you can get an extra $7500 back on your income tax? Catch is, as it is currently written, you have to pay it back (I think like $500 per year at tax time). However, the NEW Stimulus bill says that if you buy it before June 2009, you DO NOT have to pay it back.....ever. So, here is what is happening all over the place. My son is an accounting major in college and working for a National Income Tax prep company. People are coming in SAYING that they are going to be buying a house on a certain date, before the deadline mentioned above of course, they qualify for the $7500, and are laughing all the way to the bank without ever buying a house. I was down there talking to my son the other day and a fella that my sons boss knows came in and said he was buying a house (Although the boss knows that is BS), the guy, who only made $16k last year, walks out of the office with a $10k income tax rebate check. He then proceeds to WALK across the street (Guy didn't own a car), and he BUYS a truck at the car lot across the street with his new found wealth! What is the IRS gonna do? In a few years they send you a letter that you didn't buy a house and you have to pay it back? So, you are working at a fast food joint and you cut a deal with the IRS to pay back $2000 of it at the rate of $30 per month
