this is the major sticky point as the IRS instructions for the tax credit form are somewhat confusing.
My interpretation is the following. You can only claim one credit per "attempt". So the point is: if you have a failure and then a successfull one, is that one attempt or two. In any case, you can still get the credit for the failed one, though it may compromise getting it later when you have a successfull one. Even if that's the case, I would still get my money as soon as possible.
But many people in this board have claimed the credit for a failed placement, and then received it also for the successfull one.
My suggestion, and again we are talking about your 2007 taxes, is to go ahead and claim it. And then see what happens when you have a successfull one.
