Hi betty,

It's good that you are applying for a deed in lieu of foreclosure in order to avoid foreclosure. Your credit score would be lowered by 250 points and it would remain on your credit report for 7 years. Apart from this, you would not be able to qualify for a mortgage in the next 2-3 years. However, as far as the deficient amount is concerned, it would be forgiven and you won't have to pay taxes on it as per the Mortgage Debt Relief Act.

I bought a lot in 2006 to build what would had been my primary home. Then the bottom fell out and I was only able to get to the dirt work done before having to go another route and fell behind on my payments. I am on the process of subitting for a DIL. What is going to happen to me? The bank said that I might be hit for the entire amount ($159,000) via 1099. Any advice will be helpful. My credit is already shot, I am needing to minimize the tax hit I will take.

Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

I haven't heard of any such rule stating that after December, 2009, you won't be liable to pay the capital gains taxes. Where did you get this information from?
