Best Answer

Much of whether there is tax liability of a short sale depends on whether the home was a primary residence or not. In most circumstances you will not pay taxes on a short sale if it was your primary residence. This is because of a law that went into effect called the Mortgage Debt Relief Act. If the property was an investment and not a primary residence you may have to pay taxes.
