Short Sale Owe Taxes? - Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act Set To Expire

Wow it seems like it was just yesterday when the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act was signed and took effect due to the declining market, but the reality is that it's set to expire in 12 months time. Since time flies I figure now is a great time to bring up this subject and how it may affect 2012.

Under current law tax payers are allowed to exclude income from the cancellation of debt from their principal residence. Principal residence is typically defined as a home lived in for at least 2 years out of the last 5, not necessarily in continuous order but at least 2 years total time. The provision is in effect for this transactions closed from 2007 through 2012.

What does this mean for homeowners considering a short sale to avoid foreclosure or to dispose of a home worth less that what is currently owed? You may have tax implications if your short sale closes after 2012! So if you are considering a short sale, now may be the time to begin preparing for your sale.

Does this mean 2012 will have an influx of short sale? In my opinion it probably will and since most banks/servicers are stepping up game to process short sales perhaps it's a sign of the increase they will have.

My advice for those considering a short sale is to begin the preparation process now in order to ensure the transaction closes smoothly and any issues the can come up are given enough time to clear.
