This is just unfair and even absurd.</p><p>Please let me know if my understanding is correct, and if there's anything I can do to claim my tax refund.</p><br \><br \>1 reply Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:02:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Question-about-the-new-extension%27s-800-000-limit/297768/ 2009-11-14T00:02:00Z Declining Area http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Declining-Area/294829/ I was in the process of <a href="http://www.zillow.com/refinance/">refinancing</a> and got the denial because my property is in declining zone.
