I got an email this week from someone regarding the California 10000 new home tax credit and I thought I would share it with others so that the same thing didn’t happen to them.
Hi! Just received a message that our application for 10K tax credit was denied on because <deleted mortgage company name> faxed the application 1 day late. Do we have any recourse in this situation? Thoughts?
My response was this:
Dear Mr. X:
Not that I am aware of.
If this were me, I would call <deleted mortgage company name> and ask to speak with a manager about the situation.
I think that your only chance of any kind of “remedy” is to get high enough at <deleted mortgage company name> and get someone to listen to you and see what happened.
From the sounds of it, <deleted mortgage company name> is at fault and whoever “messes up” should “fess up” and fix it.
I would be happy to be a sounding board for you and give you advice as needed… but I worry that it is going to be a bad situation all around and no one will own up to it.
Keep me posted… if you want!
If you think you are eligible for the California 10000 new home tax credit, make sure that you are not late on turning in your application. It is a first come, first serve basis and also has strict timing requirements of what documents that you have to submit by when.
