hendersonville homes for sale: Debt Forgiveness and Its Impact on You
- 03/22/12 04:22 AM
If you sold your Hendersonville home via a short sale, you are probably aware of the term "debt forgiveness". This is when a lender "forgives" a portion of what you owe on your home so you can sell it for less. While the lender may "forgive" this debt, Uncle Sam does not. In terms of taxes, any amount you would have owed but the bank decided not to collect on may be considered taxable income. Since taxes are due soon (this year's deadline is Tuesday, April 17, 2012), I thought it would be important to discuss debt forgiveness and its impact on you, the taxpayer.
