My husband and I filed out taxes and claimed the home credit due to the purchase of our house. We got a letter from the IRS stating they want to know how we got the expenses on line 20 from the 1040 and to re-send our HUD1 form. Since we have been married we have claimed the same work expenses and have never had to prove how we came about that number but since we filed for the home credit they want to see how we came about that number. MY FIL is an accountant so he told me to call the IRS. We I spoke to the IRS he had no idea why they wanted me to resend all the information if I sent it the first time.

Has anyone had this problem?

TIA
