Hello Sir,

I was reading your site and it had a lot of good information, but was wondering if you could answer an additional question regarding short sales.

When does California conformity for the exclusion of income from cancellation of indebtedness relating to a principal residence expire?

Thank you in advance,
Sam

Hello Sam,

December 31, 2008. We don't know if it will be extended. California is in financial difficulty and might not be able to afford it.

Good luck!
