http://www.getarebaterealestate.com/about_the_rebate_116454.htm Any real estate attorney will also confirm that rebates are allowed, we have actually worked with several of them, and below is an attorney, tax expert and author who confirms that no tax consequences are involved with the rebate. Per the Department of Justice and the IRS, the rebate lowers the cost of the home, saving you money. To have to pay tax on that would be like trying to tax you on the amount you negotiated to a lower price of the home . ........... Tax reporting for commission rebates In today's difficult housing market it has become commonplace for brokers to offer buyers a cash rebate of a portion of their commission. A common question many brokers and buyers have is whether such rebates are taxable income that must be reported to the IRS on Form 1099-MISC. The answer is no. The IRS says that a cash rebate paid to a buyer of property at or after closing is an adjustment in the price, and is therefore not taxable income to the buyer. Rather, the buyer should subtract the amount of the rebate from the home's basis. This will, of course, increase any potential profit when the home is sold. Since they are not taxable income, such rebates need not be reported on Form 1099-MISC. Thus, brokers should not send 1099s to buyers reporting such rebates. Any buyer who has received a 1099 that reports such a payment in error should ask the broker to correct or withdraw it.

估计broker自己是self-employment,也想抵税,就给客人开1099什么的。 no cost refi,rebate的钱应该算是lender's credit吧,除非是broker从自己收入中 帮LZ cover的, 确实比较恶心。。。什么人都有。利益两个字真是不简单呀。
