Hi Guest!
Welcome to forums!
If your property was sold at a higher price than what you owed on the mortgage, then you won't be responsible for paying off any taxes to the IRS or deficient amount to the lender related to that property. If your property was sold at a profit, then you would receive that amount from your lender. I would suggest you to have a word with a tax adviser and take his opinion in this regard.
