Hi Guest,

The forgiven debt resulting from short sale and foreclosure are taxable. However, depending upon the Mortgage Debt Relief Act, the borrowers don't have to pay taxes on the forgiven debt. As far as debts discharged in bankruptcy is concerned, it does not have any tax consequences.

Thanks

Hi Gdreeves!

Welcome to forums!

In case of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the lender will forgive the deficient balance resulting from the sale of the property. This forgiven debt will be considered as your income by the IRS. However, depending upon the Mortgage Debt Relief Act, you won't be liable for paying the taxes for the forgiven debt.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
