I bought my home in oct 2009, and I was hoping to claim the credit on my 2009 return. I just noticed that I can't efile with turbo tax, but will have to mail my return. I am due a normal refund and I have heard the home credit can take up to 6 months to get. I want my regular refund now. Can I just do my regular return with turbo tax disregarding the home credit, and then do an amendment after getting my regular refund. I do not want my regular refund to be delayed because of the home credit attached to them. I know I can get my regular refund in eight days through efile. Any advice would be appreciated. Do I still have the option to amend my 2008 taxes to claim the credit?
