Long Time Home Buyer - Documents?

[zeros]

Got my first LTHB coming in tomorrow evening. I would assume I would need some documents of proof that they owned a house for "x" amount of years. What is considered the correct documents so I don't get this kicked back on me?

Here's a link to the Form 5405 instruction:

Have a look at p. 2, middle of the right column, second bullet point under "Additional documentation."

Thanks

Thanks Zero for posting and thanks BP for the reference material.

I just received a return today ( on extension of course) for LT Homebuyers Credit.

What a coincidence. Had my first client in who will finalize sale shortly. I had not paid much attention to the long time resident credit and was unsure about things. Went all over the place to find all the info I wanted to give her and now this post. Amazing.
