The Homeowners Customer Center is urging the US Congress, and President Obama to right away extend the Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Provisions that are set to expire at midnight December 31st 2012. The group fears millions of US homeowners, who owe far more on their home than it is worth have no clue that without having this extension prior to midnight December 31st 2012, they could get a giant tax bill if they attempt to do a loan modification, a brief sale, go via a foreclosure in 2013-if a reduction in the principal of the mortgage is involved. The Home owners Consumer Center says, “We do not think most existing underwater US property owners realize that without this mortgage forgiveness tax provision extension they, or their neighbors are about to get hit with what could be a gigantic federal tax bill, need to they do a short sale, a loan modification, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure-that requires a mortgage principal reduction in what they owe their mortgage lender. With out an extension of this bill, anytime right after December 31st 2012, if a homeowner receives any variety of principal reduction from their mortgage lender-they are going to be taxed by the IRS on whatever the principal reduction was-as if it was income. Without an quick extension of this legislation we worry there could be a stampede of US home owners undertaking a deed in lieu, and walking away from their home prior to December 31st 2012.” http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com

The Home owners Customer Center believes its not just the US home owners who owe much more on their properties than they are worth that will be the only casualties if the Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Provisions are not extended by the US Congress & the Obama Administration. The group believes further casualties incorporate:
All US homeowners. The Homeowners Consumer Center says, “If we get millions of new deed in lieu of foreclosures prior to December 31st 2012 since the US Congress did not extend the Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Provisions-it lowers the value of all US residential real estate markets nationwide.” 
The thousands of real estate agents that specialize in quick sales would all of a sudden be unemployed. What homeowner is going to do a brief sale on their under water residence if they get taxed on the principal reduction-as ordinary income? 
Mortgage lenders, banks, mortgage brokers, and law firms that specialize in loan modifications will also be joining the unemployment lines-what homeowner-who owes far more on their residence than it is worth would want to do a loan modification if the principal reduction is taxed as ordinary earnings? 
A sudden influx of millions of instant deed in lieu of house foreclosures prior to December 31st 2012 could be disastrous for the US economy, and worldwide economic markets.
The Home owners Consumer Center says, “What occurs to the 22.eight% of all US property owners, who are upside down on their property mortgage when they all of a sudden realize-if they do not stroll away from their homes now-they may get taxed on a principal reduction in 2013, if they do a loan modification, a quick sale, a deed in lieu, or anything involving a principal reduction from their bank? At this moment we are saying if the US Congress, and the Obama Administration do not extend the Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Provisions now-we are going to have a gigantic mess on our hands, and its going to start off extended ahead of December 31st 2012.” http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com
