I am closing escrow on a home in November. I am a first time home buyer and was planning on amending my 2008 taxes to receive the credit quicker. Can I get the tax credit in the form of direct deposit to expediate the process?

Check only, but you're still better off amending 2008 rather than claiming it in 2009 because the IRS will pay you ~ $120 more dollars. (Accrued interest)
I just amended mine mailed it in about 3 weeks ago, they said could take 16-28 weeks. I dont know about DD, the form wanted my bank info so i dont know how they pay you

It doesn't matter when the house was purchased, what matters is when the paperwork was sent in... I sent mine in 8/15, and so far I've gotten nothing.he sent the papers in immediately
michal1980 said:and it seems to be taking longer and longer Sent in my paperwork by certified mail, return receipt requested on 7/20. Got my check 8/31. 5 weeks isn't bad.
No, you can't get it direct deposit.
No, you don't have to pay an accountant to do it. Turbo Tax made it easy for me to amend my return.
EDIT: Speeling.

Yeah cause there are lots of private companies that handle complex documents for 300 million people and are not only willing to accept late paperwork but will mail you a check for $8,000 within one week!
I received mine by direct deposit (never heard of anyone else getting it like that though). I filed it on an amended return back in May and got it about 8 weeks later.
I finally got around to filing my 2008 taxes on October the 12th and I received my $8k credit yesterday via direct deposit. So... took about 8-10 business days. I was expecting more like 8-10 business weeks!
