Homebuyer tax credit questions?

IRS spokesman Jim Dupree will answer tax credit questions -- including ones related to the $8,000 and $6,500 sweeteners for home buyers --  on the Sun's Consuming Interests blog at noon on Tuesday.

Got a question already? Comment on this Consuming Interests blog post or email it to eileen.ambrose@baltsun.com. Complex ones are more likely to get answered if Dupree has time to research.
