  1. hey all...well, it looks like if it is too good to be true, it prob is.
    We are gna have to keep looking for right now as our tax return will be very much delayed. :(
    Because we are first time homebuyers we have to mail our return in with a copy of our closing docs and all...which means we may get it (with direct deposit) in 4-6 weeks :( BOOOO!!! we have such dreams for hte house right now.

  2. ok, so yeah, i just got off the phone with the irs. i have all the proper documents and such, so now we have to mail them in. the lady on the phone said they aren't prepared for the 1st Time Home Buyers deal, so they won't be ready for those returns til mid FEBRUARY and then another 4-6 weeks ontop of that so we are looking at not getting our return til the END OF MARCH!!! I asked about splitting our return and doing the reg part now, then the 1st time deal later, she said that i would have to wait until the first part went thru, then ammend it and look at another almost 3 months before they would show anything. UGH!!! I really want a new dishwasher, freezer, paint the walls, etc etc etc....guess I will keep dreaming until we get our return one day.
    I know that this is money that we wouldn't normally have, but it is money that part of it is due us back, and i am sorry if the government isn't prepared, but that seems to be their track record lately!
