Buyers Tax Credit
August 6th, 2008
Question: With the new home-buyers tax credit, what happens if you have already filed taxes, can you still get the money?
We filed our taxes, and now found a great inexpensive house we like. Is it possible to still get the 1st time home buyers credit of up to $8000? We live in Wisconsin and meet the income requirements.
Answer: Dear Red: Just amend your federal return and enclose form 5405 to claim the $8000 (10% 0f purchase price or max $8000) credit after you close on the house. You must close before Dec 1 2009.
This advice was prepared based on our understanding of the tax law in effect at the time it was written and it applies to the facts that you provided. Click on my profile to read more. Errol Quinn Enrolled Agent Master Tax Advisor

Tax Credit Effect
July 19th, 2008
Question: if you receive money from a divorce, will this effect your benefits, eg working tax credit?
Answer: The person sending you the alimony is deducting it from their earned income and therefore not paying taxes on it so guess what….you get to claim that money as income and pay the tax.
Lucky you.

So how do you go about finding the right contactor? Let’s say you want a new kitchen in Brooklyn. First you ask around for any recommendations for a home renovation contractor. Once you have a few companies to pick from call them all. Ask for a quote. If anyone is willing to give you a quote over the phone without checking out the job in person, take them off the list. A professional contractor asked to build a new kitchen in Brooklyn is going to want to check out the existing kitchen. They will take a look at what the job is going to entail before giving a price range.
Make sure you are very clear and consistent in what you expect. This means knowing what you want in the new kitchen layout, material to be used and when you need it done by. The information you provide is what the quote will be based on. If you are not exact and consistent there will be differences in the quotes. Ask about permits. Contact the municipality about needing permits for the construction you want done. If they say you need them but a home renovation contractor tells you different take them off the list. If they are going to cut corners they don’t want permits or any inspections.
Once you have the quotes for a new kitchen in Brooklyn do you pick the lowest one that can meet your timeline? No. You have to find out why the quotes are different. Who is going to be working on your kitchen? Is one lower because the labour is going to be contracted out and one higher because an experienced specialist is going to be doing the work? Will lower quality material will be used compared to another quote. Ask questions, compare answers. Go with the home renovation contractor that offers the best quality work for your budget, not just the cheapest.
Sometimes to get the kitchen you want it is not a case of renovations but actual adding to the house. If that is the case then you want a house extension Brooklyn NY contractor. When looking for the right house extension Brooklyn NY contractor you should also ask around for recommendations. Then go through the same process of getting quotes and comparing them. When changing the structure or getting a house extension Brooklyn NY permits are not an option they are a requirement. If any contractor tells you that you don’t need a permit don’t deal with them. They are trying to hid something an inspector would catch. It is more important and safe to make sure you are dealing with a reputable company than saving a few dollars.
