The government has provided their solution is the hopes that it will save California from the woes of a long and bitter recovery. This time at least the government did something for us.
The program the have introduced is the mortgage relief act. California has got it passed though and into law because they needed it more than the other states. It is the hope of many in California that this will provide the relief needed to many struggling families.
Because of California’s challenges in this area. They were the hardest hit state. Many politicians are hoping that this will provide enough help to keep one hundred thousand people from the brink of ruin.
Now let get to the fact. This bill allows the homeowner who is living at the residence. The privilege of not reporting any debt forgiveness he receives on his taxes. Before this law you were obliged to count it as income this mean if you did get help from the bank you may suffer at the hands of the government.
This new law eliminate this tax. You do not have to claim it on your taxes and this is good news. There are a few restrictions. First is does not apply to people who are forgiven more than half a million dollars. Second it must be your primary residence. Th rid it is a limited time offer it expires in 2012.
