A return filed to correct one that was already filed if some change or error becomes known. For income tax, it is done on a 1040X...a very simple form (show what chaged, by how much, old and new amount...pretty much it).

When do i get the tax money from the housing tax credit if i amend my taxes?

Assuming you amended your return to request the 1st time home buyer credit it takes the IRS approx. 10-16 weeks to process an amended return. This is because amended returns are worked differently. They are actually "hand" done, meaning a human being looks closely at the 1040x (amended federal return) This is done because there is always the question as to why you are changing the original tax return filed. (1040) So to answer your question, BE PATIENT!
