Since I've had a challenge finding up to date information about the possibility of Congress extending the mortgage forgiveness tax break into 2014 I've included a link to govtrack which will show the latest status:
This link will show the current status of the bill proposing to extend the mortgage debt relief law through 2014.
What this bill does:
Amends the Internal Revenue Code to extend through 2014: the tax credit for purchasing health care insurance; the tax deduction for expenses of elementary and secondary school teachers; the exclusion from gross income of imputed income from the discharge of indebtedness for a principal residence; the equalization of the exclusion from gross income for employer-provided commuter transit and parking benefits; the tax deduction for mortgage insurance premiums; the tax deduction for state and local general sales taxes in lieu of state and local income taxes; the tax deduction for contributions of capital gain real property made for conservation purposes; the deduction from gross income for qualified tuition and related expenses; and tax-free distributions from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes.
