Short Sale
Forgiveness In the not-so-distant past, a short
sale meant the lender forgave part of the home seller's debt, but the home seller - many times to his or her
surprise - had to pay federal taxes on the forgiven amount because the
IRS treated it like income. Under new tax rules, however, the lender sends a
1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, to the home seller in most cases. The forgiven debt does not have to be
included in taxable income, and it gets reported instead on Form 982. To be eligible for debt cancellation,
the mortgage must have been a primary one on a principal residence; the cancellation occurred between 2007
and 2012; and the mortgage's principal balance must be less than $2 million ($1 million if filing
separately). As with any tax matter, home sellers should keep all paperwork to back up their claim in case
it's questioned. It's also a good idea to consult a tax attorney on any tax issue. For more information, go

Association of Realtors)
