I sold my house in 2008, Countrywide approved the Short Sale and was told by their negotiator that the investor will be the one to issue me a 1099C for the forgiven debt. The investor is Fannie Mae, I have never refinanced and it's a purchase money mortgage. I have in writing and email from the negotiatgor that they will pursue a deficiency judgment. I don't know who to call to get the 1099C. I've lived in my house as principal residence fo 2 years and lost a lot of money. Can I file my income tax and complete form 982 and report the debt forgiven or do I just not report it because we are qualified for the $500,000 for couples.
Thanks

correction, I have in writing that Countrywide and each investors will not pursue a deficiency judgment.
Hi faith,
As far as I know, in a short sale, the lender has the right to pursue deficiency judgment against the borrower. But as your lender has given it in writing that he won't demand the deficient amount, the lender will send you the 1099-c form. You can directly call the customer care department of the lender and check out when you will be receiving the 1099-c form.
