In December 2008, my house was short sold for less than I originally bought it for. Lost my job. I was sent a 1099C with a difference of what the house sold for. I reported it to the IRS and had to pay it in taxes. Am I obligated to be "compensated" for what I paid in due to the Mortgage Forgiveness Act of 2007? Can I file a form 982 with an amended tax return for that year and get compensated?
Please let me know. Your help would be highly appreciated...Thanks!

Hi Hedn4daborda,
If your primary property got sold off at a short sale, then you will be able to claim the tax refunds as per the Mortgage Forgiveness Act of 2007.
Thanks
