Tax question

[Dukester]

I bought a Spyder on Feb. 7, 2009, I know the rule is Feb. 17, but I thought I read somewhere they gave you a 10 day back date rule. Is this true, I checked a bunch of IRS sites and saw nothing. Any advise, help. Just want to get what is due to me. Thanks for any ideas or thoughts

I called the toll free IRS #. Wait was only 3-4 minutes and they were Very Helpful!!

Q. When can the vehicle be purchased to qualify for this deduction?
A. This deduction applies to vehicles purchased after Feb. 16, 2009 and before Jan. 1, 2010.

When I called concerning my questions, the lady I spoke to asked me specifically if I bought it after between February 17, and December 31. Unfortunately, I think you may be out of luck on this one.

Here is the contact info for the IRS so you can call and verify it for yourself though:

Telephone Assistance for Individuals:
Toll-Free, 1-800-829-1040
Hours of Operation: Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. your local time (Alaska & Hawaii follow Pacific Time).

Hope that helps.
