Borrower currently owes $580,000 to 1st, $100,000 to 2nd and $400,000 to 3rd for a total of $1,080,000. House will probably sell for 1,100,000 but due to high capital gains tax, borrower wants to either let the house get foreclosed or wants to transfer via deed in lieu of foreclosure. 3rd lender is about to foreclose but is willing to accept deed in lieu of foreclosure from borrower. What are the tax implications to the borrower?

Unless they agree, the process can't go through. Due to the Mortgage Debt Relief Act, you won't be able to pay any taxes for the forgiven debt. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success
