Chandler Accountant Helps Homeowners facing Foreclosure and Short Sale

Feb. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Over the past three years the real estate market in Arizona has been on a steady decline.  Chandler, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek, Mesa, and Maricopa have experienced this and as a result many families are struggling with the possibility of a foreclosure, and the tax ramifications that result from it.  
Many families in the Phoenix Metro area are now struggling with the burden of whether or not to shorts-sell their homes, or whether it makes sense to hang on.  One of the biggest mysteries in this equation is the tax consequences of a possible foreclosure or short sale.
Fortunately for people going through this sort of process speaking with a CPA, or an EA is essential.  All the options must be considered and a complete review of the 1099-C or 1098-A must be completed to make sure that the foreclosure is properly accounted for on the taxes.
