What forms do I need to refile my 2008 taxes in order to receive the new home buyer's tax credit?

I just want to make sure I have it right. Forms 5405, 1040x, and an updated 1040?

    Not correct. You are allowed only one Form 1040 per year. File Form 1040X and attach whatever schedules or forms, other than Form 1040, are being changed or added. Do not attach an updated Form 1040. Any information on Form 1040 that must be changed goes directly onto the Form 1040X, not onto an updated Form 1040.

    No, you do NOT send a 1040.

    Just 1040X (front back), skip lines 1-9.

    Form 5405.

    And, while not required, send the HUD-1 Settlement page showing date closed, amount, buyer's name and seller's name. The IRS is verifying everything due to discovering massive fraud in this area.
