I don't mean any disrespect to the original poster, but based on how the post is worded, it wouldn't surprise me if the original poster was in grade school in 2008 when that year's iteration of the first-time homebuyer credit was passed.

Sometimes, the institutional knowledge which comes with advancing age can be a good thing.

2008 had a 15-year repayment of the First-Time Homebuyer Credit.  See Schedule 2 of the 1040, line 10.

I had a new client with this, I opened the 5405 and entered the $500 repayment amount in that worksheet, and it transferred it to the line of the return where it belongs.

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

No you're not done.  First repayment was 2010.

You can look up the account at https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/first-time-homebuyer-credit-account-look-up
