Best Answer

After a foreclosure, the mortgage company or bank will send you a 1099-like form showing forgiveness of the balance due on the mortgage, including the costs of foreclosure. This is income to you and you will have to pay income taxes on that amount unless you file bankruptcy. You can also remove any unsecured debt that would otherwise make it harder to start over.
