Re: Foreclosure tax
Depends. If they simply write off the debt and issue you a 1099 for the unpaid balance, that's considered income to you and taxable. Or if the sale results in a purchase price well in excess of your obligation (unlikely, but we're talking hypothetically) the capital gain is taxable.
