Forgiveness of debt has its costs!
Under The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA), homeowners will have the capability to exclude the mortgage debt that was forgiven in 2017 on a principal residence from the gross income. In addition, it also allows for the modification to exclude debt discharged later than 2017 corresponding to a written agreement that was recorded in 2017. Otherwise, taxpayers would have to pay income taxes on the forgiven mortgage debt sum. This video reviews that in 2019, a bill may again be considered to “amend the Internal Revenue Code to make permanent the exclusion from gross income of income attribute to the discharge of qualified principal residence indebtedness” (formerly introduced as H.R. 110 in 2017). A delay in finalizing was due in part to the December 2018 government shutdown.
