Gerald’s Article Insights: Underwater Homeowners Could Face Extra Tax Burden in 2014

The Mortgage Forgiveness and Debt Relief Act has provided tax relief to homeowners upside down on their mortgage facing foreclosure who would otherwise have owed taxes on forgiven mortgage debt.  The original Mortgage Forgiveness and Debt Relief Act was introduced in Congress in 2007 and after first expiring in 2009 has been extended by Congress each year since 2009.  The Act expires again this month (January 2014).  With millions of homeowners around the country still upside down on their mortgage and facing foreclosure, hopefully Congress will extend the Act again for at least another year.
