Are taxes owed on a “quick sale” to avoid foreclosure?

Question by mischief418: Are taxes owed on a “quick sale” to avoid foreclosure?
We avoided foreclosure on our house a few months ago by doing a “quick sale” I believe…is this the same as a “short sale”? And I am wondering now that tax season is here…am I going to be responsible for the taxes on the sale of the house? I didn’t make a cent off of the sale but I’m just not sure how this all works. I know that the house was sold for less than what was owed on the mortgage but I do not owe the difference because the lender accepted the terms and I have a statement from the mortgage company confirming all of this however the letter does not mention taxes. Anyone know about this stuff??

What are my daughter’s options upon receiving a foreclosure notice on her home?

My daughter is currently going through a divorce and does not live in the home, although her soon to be ex husband does.
