We receive lots of questions about tax liability of short sales and foreclosures. As real estate brokers we are not licensed to give advice on this topic however we can lead you to the information that may answer your questions.
On December 20, 2007 the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 was enacted. Usually, debt that is forgiven or cancelled by a lender must be included as income on your tax return and is taxable. The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 allows you to exclude certain cancelled debt on your principal residence from income. More information regarding the Mortgage Debt Relief Act can be found on the IRS website below:
