I have been on Social Security disability since 2005. Are there any tax ramifications in any of these 3 situations? I live in Oregon.

As you'll be paying the balance dues, you won't be liable for any tax payments. However, in case of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the balance amount is forgiven. The forgiven dues can be considered as income by the IRS but you won't have to pay taxes due to the Mortgage Debt Relief Act. Thanks
