发帖数: 5 | 1 I filed 1040A filing Married jointly for 2007 tax return, but got no tax
rebate because of my spouse has only ITIN. I believe there is number of
couples didn't get the tax rebate due to this restriction.

老婆没有社安号，现在赶快申请EAD和SSN，明年全家都可以拿这个钱（600x2＋300x(number of eligible child))。这样既可以今年少缴税，明年又可以全部拿的回来，损失的只是一些利息，绝对是最优解。当然如果今年保税时就已经有SSN又是另外一回事了。
具体规定见IRS网站：

at the first Q&A in http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=206293,00.html, it implies that only the time you purchase the home matters. THat means as long as u close the home in 2009, even you file 2008 tax addendum, you don't need to pay the money back. |

2. 需要attach Form 5405, HUD-1(Settlement Statement)
3. 对于4月30前刚刚enter contract, 之后30天才能close并且拿到HUD-1的,
那么就先附一个signed contract. 等拿到HUD-1再补send a copy. 因为看到版上

taxpayers are filing during 2009. The new credit modifies the existing Hope

Unless you are one of the exempt applicants described above, this change
requires the submission of original or certified copies of documentation
from the issuing agency in order to obtain an ITIN. You may be able to
request a certified copy of your passport or similar international
identification (e.g., Matricula Card) at your local consulate's office.

我们公司pre-tax childcare account最多可以每年存5000。加上3650，就是一年有
8650的免税部分，折算后应该大约相当于多退3000税。是不是除此之外基本就没了？
IRS的Child and dependent care credit是怎么算的，我没有看的很明白：
