Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease) June 09, 2009 - As a result of the real estate market in the Chandler area, many homeowners are facing difficult decisions. They find themselves owing much more on their homes than they are worth and must examine all of their options. Taxpayers may have significant tax consequences as a result of a foreclosure or a short sale.
“The situation has become troublesome for many people. Their homes were viewed as their biggest investment and now it feels as though everything has come crashing down on them,” said Paul B. Sundin, CPA. “As a result, they must try to understand the tax ramifications they may be facing and determine if there is any assistance for them under the tax code.”
“Many homeowners will find that tax relief exists for them, but only under certain situations. If they don’t find relief under the qualified principal residence exclusion, they may determine that they are insolvent. Insolvency can be challenging to calculate even for financially sophisticated taxpayers. You must make sure that you seek the help of a CPA or other qualified tax professional in the Chandler area.”
If you are going through a short sale or a foreclosure, you will most likely receive a 1099-A or 1099-C at the end of the year. You should carefully review any 1099 you receive and make sure to notify the lender if any of the information shown is incomplete or incorrect. You should also review your 1099s with a qualified CPA or other tax professional to determine any tax consequences.
