Defaulted and Foreclosed in Missouri
I defaulted on a home mortgage and they foreclosed on my home. I owe $60,000 difference. How much tax will I owe?
Is this only a one time tax? This is in Missouri. Thanks for your answers!

Have you ever considered walking away from your mortgage?
If you own a house anywhere these days, you probably owe more on it than what it's worth. The banks are refusing to modify mortgage rates even if you have great credit. If you live anywhere in Michigan, the market is so bad, you can't sell it without losing a ton of money. Would you walk away and let the bank take it back?
I find it interesting that some people can be so judgmental as to generalize and call everyone irresponsible for being in the position of owing more on their house than what its worth.
Not everyone made stupid choices. Luckily we aren't in that position but I feel bad for the people who work hard, make their payments on time, had equtiy in their home then watched it slowly go down the drain. If you live in Michigan, especially the Detroit area, you know what I'm talking about.
