I would first go to the website below and verify that this credit has been paid off completely:

If it is showing as a zero balance on the website above, I would call the First-Time Homebuyer Credit phone number at 1-800-919-0352, because there is something in the system that is indicating there is still a balance owed if it is rejecting.
