Possible Causes:

• The taxpayer took out a First Time Homebuyer loan in 2008 or 2009 and is required to repay that loan.
• The taxpayer's information is entered incorrectly, and the IRS system thinks it is a different person (double-check the SSN, name, and birthday).

Possible Resolutions:

• Enter the amount of the taxpayer's first time homebuyer repayment on SCH 2. Have them resign and resubmit the return.
• If the taxpayer's  information is entered incorrectly, correct the taxpayer's information and resubmit.

If the taxpayer is unsure of what their repayment amount is, they can contact the IRS. For information reference First Time Homebuyer Credit Account Look-up.
