Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thanks for your question.

To amend your 2008 Form 1040 to claim the First Time Homebuyer's Credit, file a Form 1040X with the Form 5405.

Form 5405,

Form 1040X (Rev. February 2009)

Instruction 1040-X (Rev. February 2009)

The IRS usually takes about 8-12 weeks to process the amended return and issue you your refund.

Hope this helps!
Thanks!
