Form 1099a: How to file taxes after the foreclosure sale

Posted on: 29th Jan, 2009 08:28 pm
I had a foreclosure 5/08, I recieved a 1099-A form. The balance of principal outstanding is $148,000 and the fmv is $165,000 and I a liable for pepayment of debt. This was my primary residence. Will I have a gain or loss when I file my taxes?

Also, I did not receive a 1099-c but I believe because the fmv exceeds the outstanding principal I will not receive one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
I was approved by my mortgage company to short sell my
condo for 54K but I owed 120K. They said that I would not have any deficient balance I sold it in July 2012. I also filed for bankrutcy in Sept. 2012 and my condo was inculded in the bankrutcy and it was discharge in Dec. 2012. Since my mortgage company forgive the deficient balance will I have to pay taxes on forgiveness monies?

Hi Dee and Lynn!

Welcome to forums!

If the debt has been forgiven by the lender then normally, you're liable for the taxes. But as the Mortgage Debt Relief Act has been extended, you may not be liable for paying the taxes.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi Jackie,

You may be liable for paying the taxes as the debt has been forgiven. But the Mortgage Debt Relief Act has been extended now. So, I will suggest you to have a word with your tax adviser and take his opinion in this regard. As the debt has been discharged in your bankruptcy filing, you may not have to report it as your income.

Thanks

We received a 1099-a when our property was fprclosed in 2012. Box 5 was checked the amount on line 2 was 181,119.84 and FMV line 4 was 185,000. Do I have any gain? Do I need to file anything with the IRS?

Hi LD,

As the Box 5 is checked, you will be liable for paying the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property, if any, to the lender. You can contact a tax adviser and take his opinion in this regard.

Thanks
