Is it correct or not to deny my First Time Home Buyer Credit?

At first the IRS examiner said that I needed my driver's license to show my new property address. Latter she said I needed bank statements showing my new property address. Then she requested my house alarm bill, telephone bill, and some other bills to also show my new address, as proof of me living at the new house. Since I didn't have any bills, she said, "well, you must send me that evidence in order for me to approve your tax credit". I got into those debts, only to meet her requirements, and sent her copy of the contracts and bills as they arrived.

Later she said that she couldn't read the HUD-1 because the letters were very tiny. I increased the size on my scanner/printer and sent it to her.

She denied my credit now, because I entered into a binding contract on Feb, 5, 2010, and closed on May 27, 2010. She now says I only had until May 1, 2010 to claim the credit.

In addition, she is denying my credit, because my wife is a foreign national, and does not live in the USA yet. (My wife barely got the her visa last Monday). According to the IRS examiner, I deserve nothing for being married to a foreign national, and that veterans should get nothing for fighting an "immoral war".

Does anyone have any idea how to fight this? Any number to call - besides the Taxpayer's Advocate Office (which seems to know less about taxes and law than my 2 y/o baby daughter)? Need help quickly. IRS examiner made me get into more than $500 in expenses only to deny me my tax credit.

NOTE: I'm disable veteran. I'm not rich, and I can't believe there is no agency that can really help us to fight this abuse. Post replies here or contact me to dgon1329 @ aol . com
