    Default income property short sale

    I have re-financed a rental property before the market dump, and now I'm in a position where in need to short sale. The value of the property is much lower than what is owed, but still higher than the original purchase price. How do I figure how much taxes I will be hit with on a short sale?

    Any words of wisdom here?

    The difference between what you owe and what the property sells for will be considered income and taxed as either income or capital gains. Check with a CPA who is familiar with your situation so you can get some real numbers to work with.
