The 1040X instructions will tell you whether you need to send in a complete return or just the changed forms.I use TurboTax to do my tax returns.

Seller agreed to remediate but (i found out later) remediator was instructed to do only part of the kitchen.

I ultimately had to have a contractor come in and cut 3'x3' holes in the wall to prove that there was a lot of hidden damage.

When dealing with agents whom I don't know and/or aren't aware of the Seller's motivation, I always take the time to write a contract and deliver it with a note highlighting the benefits of my offer.On the other hand, when representing a residential Seller I instruct all parties submitting offers to use a contract. .

The listing agent will usually have instructions available and may be willing to refer you to someone who can help you with the contract.If it's not listed with a real estate professional, you should contact the attorney handling the probate sale to see if they have special requirements regarding contract forms etc.There is no hard and fast rule that the PPA-CA must be used.

There must be hidden profits, that we common folks just can't grasp? 

So I printed out some flyers in Spanish, and headed down there to make myself known.When I walked up to the door with the flyers hidden in my jacket, I saw a sign that said "No Soliciting," and I was instantly anxious.

There are a lot more instructions you have tell them with that.  

Thanks for your advice sir, and I will definitely will follow the instructions given.

I was buying in my own name and was going directly off the instructions on the HUD Instructions to Buyer page.
