Benjamin Franklin said it best, the only things certain in life are death and taxes and depending on when the short sale of your property is completed, the IRS/State may view your newfound debt forgiveness as taxable income. Whatever sum of money acquired from the short sale could be subject to taxes before it is attributed towards the remaining mortgage debt. This could very well result in a shortfall, which would, in all likeliness, incur further penalties for breaching the terms of the short sale. Essentially, the strategy behind the short sale process is somewhat negated.
