TurboTax 2011 – How to Get a Bigger Tax Refund 2011 Turbo Tax

Question: I need to amend my 2009 taxes to claim the first time home buyer tax credit.?

Can I send in my Form 1040ez (filled with HR Block Software), Form 1040x, Form 5405, and my HUD-1? I read somewhere that you cannot claim the FTHB credit with a 1040ez but I didn’t know if that was referring only to an initial refund and not an amended refund.

Thank you.

Answer: 1040 X and it will be manual since you need to send background documents with it
if you already filed a 1040EZ you don’t need to send another one, do not, ever send a return you already filed, the only way is by 1040X

Question: is there any point in me applying for the £500 maternity grant?

hi i was just wondering if any body out there had been awarded the maternity grant even though they were not on any benefits and were not classed as being on a low income,I am currently pregnant with my third child and was not able to claim the grant with my first two due to being awarded the basic family element of tax credits,but have worked out on the tax credit calculator that after the birth of my baby i should be awarded higher than basic family element and that’s after the baby element bonus,just wondered if any one else had been lucky enough to get the grant who was in the same situation as me?
thanks for the replys,think i will apply for it but after i have had the baby,so i can get tax credits reviewed too.

Answer: My wife didn’t qualify when she was pregnant as she wasn’t on benefits…even though she was on a low income.
You have to qualify for the higher element of child tax credit to qualify as well as benefits etc.
When the baby was born she applied again (as you automatically get the higher element of child tax credit with a new baby) and she qualified. She managed to buy all sorts of bits and pieces for the baby, it really helps.
You have until baby is 3 months old to apply. direct.gov has all the info.
Good luck
