Current Laws Protecting Homeowners
The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and Debt Cancellation
A majority of homeowners considering a short sale will be able to take advantage of the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007, which generally allows homeowners to exclude income from the discharge of debt on their principal residence.

This provision applies to debt forgiven in calendar years 2007 through 2012. Up to $2 million of forgiven debt is eligible for this exclusion ($1 million if married filing separately). The exclusion does not apply if the discharge is due to any reason not directly related to a decline in the home's value or the taxpayer's financial condition.

What does exclusion of income mean?
Typically, debt that is forgiven by a lender must be included as income on the homeowner's tax return and is taxable. The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act allows exclusion of certain cancelled debt on principal residences from income.

Does the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act apply to debt incurred to refinance a home?
Debt used to refinance a home qualifies, but only to the extent that the principal balance of the previous mortgage, immediately before the refinancing, would have qualified.

For complete details on The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and Debt Cancellation, be sure to review the IRS publication:
