    filling out form 1040x for home buyer credit
    I am filling out form 1040X for my 2009 federal return since we qualify for the repeat homebuyer credit of $6,500. I've copied everything over from my 1040, and I'm coming up with an overage of $2 on line 21 ($6,502). I've recalculated all the figures numerous time. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

    The 2010 Form 1040X is a bittle more complex than earlier versions.

    For this reason, it may be better for you to get professional tax help.

    Email me at [email protected] for a fee quote to amend your return. You will find my fee to be most reasonable.
