Open Question: Do you rent or own your home? And what is your opinion of this article: Buying a home is a ticket to financial?
security is a “scam” perpetrated on the American people by corporations seeking to keep us
in debt, less mobile and with the storage to purchase all sorts of
needless consumer goods.
There’s a lot of downsides and hidden
costs to home ownership that get lost in the “American Dream”
discussion:
* Insurance premium.
* Property taxes (which usually offset any tax deduction you get from your mortgage interest).
* Maintenance (pipes break, electricity problems, etc.).
* Remodeling costs.
* Utilities
(utilities and maintenance for renters is often reflected in the rental
price, but it’s not reflected in a mortgage when you own).
* Yard work, pest control, etc. (again, rents usually have this built into the price, but mortgages don’t).
* A down payment of at least 15%, which is $90,000 on a $600,000 home.
Closing costs, usually 5% of loan amount, or another $25,000.
Voting Question: First time home buyer credit tax refund headache?
I am having a great difficulty filling out first time home buyer credit tax refund. I started with Turbo Tax only to discover that I am not allowed to e-file so I mosey over to H&R Block only to discover that they cant process my tax refund because they also e-file so they highly recommended me that I just do it the good old way with a 1040 form and appropriate tax forms for first time home buyer. Now I am very much capable of filling out my taxes because after all that is exactly what I have been doing in the last 11 years. This time, however, I am lost in the sea of confusion.
I took out a loan from my step father who in turn took out a loan from 2 banks. His credit history allows him to buy homes and rent them out. So having an opportunity to go ahead and save myself almost $500 on overpaying for a rental property I decided to purchase a home. With economy the way it is, I found myself a phenomenal deal. A town home that was originally sold for twice that much and was in foreclosure. One of the incentives of course was the 8000 home buyer credit. When I first heard of it, my step father had no comment as program had just presented itself. So now.. almost a year later when its time for my taxes I cant get him to provide me a 1098 form which would allow me to fill out my deductions. When I did my deductions through Turbo Tax they came out to a greater refund than standart deduction but only by a few more dollars. So when I asked my step father to provide me with that information he said that I should just stick with standart deduction as he has no time to work on taxes now. (That’s coming from a guy who fills out taxes on April 14th and always mails them in late). Now me.. being the good boy have always filed for tax return the second I got my w2 form and all appropriate paperwork. This year I got 2 papers from my college loan lenders as well as my w2 but behold I do not have my form for the house loan. I do have a very nice paper that came to me from my realtor that outligns every single payment and tax and fee for the next 30 years. Paper came from PA and is called Amortization schedule.
My step father, I think, either does not know about the first time home buyer credit or knows about it and plans to file under the new program getting 6500 or whatever it is now all for himself. I am terrified to even bring this up in a conversation because me and him have a very uneasy relationship and everything to do with finances comes out to him requesting that every extra dollar that I make going straight to repay my loan. Speaking of which I have 3 college loans. One is through him and yet again he does not want to provide me with 1098 even for that. Its been like that ever since i graduated college. I strongly suspect that he is claiming all those loans as his tax write off for himself and of course the entire family with exception of myself since I moved out in 2002.
So here I am with an opportunity to get a tax refund of 8600 but I do not have 1098 form from him. After speaking with H&R block they advised me to file a regular tax refund and do an ammendment to that which would mean that I get 600 now and 8000 after the ammendment. Unfortunately though an ammendment is a paper that requires that dredded 1098 form meaning that I can not get the 8000 if the auditor at irs considers that my Amortization Schedule is not enough. I can not afford to not get this tax credit. I just cant. Every single penny that I would have gotten from this return would have gotten to pay for my home taxes, home owner association fees, Community District Developer fees, car registration renewal+insurance and home insurance. All of that is coming up in the following schedule.
3100 for taxes and HOA needs to be paid asap
CDD in amount of 1826 needs to be paid asap
800 Home insurance will need to be paid on April 30th
Car registration and renewal needs to be paid on Feb 26/March 30th in amount of 720
That totals to 6446 that I MUST pay without ifs buts or ands. I do not have that much money. I might be able to scramble that much by next year but with today’s economy where everything is going up in price every day.. I cant afford to make any more cuts in my budget, I already cut out 500 dollars by reducing my entertainment and food rations to a low low budget of “barely”. This year I lost 16lbs because of malnutrition to save an extra few dollars to pay for living expenses.
Total amount that I wanted to pay out in 1 short February comes out to 6446, I have 500 in my bank so with 8600 refund I was hoping to get my taxes out the way and set aside some money for next year’s taxes. As you can see I NEED this tax credit to get my life back into shape. I am a very responsible person who is very conservative with money. I have a great job but in today’s economy its just that much harder to keep moving forward.
I was wondering if I could “squeeze by” the IRS tax auditor with just the Amortization Schedule. From what I
Thank you for continuous feedback on this. This situation is weird in all aspects of it being weird. I do have HUD statement and all other paperwork. In every single document it lists myself as rightful homeowner and seller as a completely unrelated individual. That individual is person who’s property has been foreclosed on. My step father’s name is different and nowhere in any documents it shows any relation of him to me. He is also not a previous owner of the house so his role here is a solely as a lender. You are right in mentioning that interest paid did not matter much this tax return. I have come up to a difference of 10 dollars that I can live with. So since we established that 1098 is not required I am safe to file my tax return correct?
Thank you tax lady.
I wish I could explain this in terms that are simple but on condition of anonymity this is not as easy. Let me try anyways. Lets say that my name was ohh I dont know Mike Jones. On every single paper it shows Mike Jones as guy who bought the house and is paying loans etc etc and ONLY owner. Also in many documents it shows John Johnson as lender and all over the document it lists Stacy Petersen as previous owner and seller. There is no mention of the Bank on my side but there is also no mention of relationship between John Johnson and Mike Jones. None whatsoever. I have read IRS documents time and again and it says that I can not purchase from a family member or relative… true I have not purchased from either. There is a little mention of co-signer and it says that if I had a co-signer I would still be eligible for tax credit. I hope this clarifies a couple of things.
I truly appreciate all the feedback. Thank you guys.
To add to the above. He was not technically my co-signer since he never co-signed anything per say. He is just a lender as far as purchase of the house is concerned
Voting Question: What happens with my rental during/after bankruptcy?
Our chapter 7 bankruptcy was discharged a few weeks ago. We have 2 rental houses that our tenants still live in. We were not allowed to collect rent during the bankruptcy filing. However, we are now collecting enough rent to make sure we can keep up on the property insurance and have some extra money in case anything goes wrong, since we’re still technically responsible for the houses.
So what I am asking is, we have not made a payment on the houses since like August. Our discharge was in December. How much longer will we have these houses? Why would they not want to take possession right away?
I mean, I guess I don’t mind making a little money while all this is happening, but how much longer can this go on? I would actually kind of like them to just take the house so we can be done with it.
Also, my lawyer said we will not owe anything once they take the houses, and that we will not have to claim the deficiency as income on our taxes. (ohio). Does that sound correct?
Penn, I DON’T LIVE THERE!!!
