Nearly A Million New Home Buyers Tax Credits Need To Be Repayed Posted: 10 Sep 2010 05:18 AM PDT According to the Inspector General for Tax Administration 950,000 families took the New Home Owners Tax Credit incorrectly and will need to repay the money to the government. First, how badly can a program can be implemented that over half of the people who applied got the specifics wrongs. Seriously, only the Federal Government could screw this up. If it was a private business that messed this up so badly every channel on the television would have lawyers advertising for the class action lawsuit. Secondly, this is going to leave a great deal of pain across the country. The typical home bought with the new home owner tax credit was a first time home or on the lower end of the housing spectrum. Essentially families for which 8,000 dollars is a lot of money. Now they will have to come up with it in cash, not roll it into the mortgage as they would have, and pay Uncle Sam, or face ridiculously high penalties and interest. This is not what we want to deal with during a recession.
