    There is often some confusion between Las Vegas short sales and foreclosures. If a Las Vegas home owner borrows money from a lender and the lender later cancels or forgives the debt, the Las Vegas home owner may have to include the cancelled amount in income for tax purposes.

    When the debt obligation is forgiven in a Las Vegas short sales, the amount received as loan profits is normally reportable as income because the original owner no longer has an obligation to repay their lender. The lender is usually required to report the amount of the canceled debt to both the original Las Vegas home owner and the IRS on a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt.

    In a Las Vegas foreclosure, a home owner will also get a 1099. In the case of a foreclosure the 1099 is called a "1099-A" and the 'A' stands for "Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property". It is important to know that while there are many differences, the tax consequences for the 'C' and the 'A' are the same. Because of The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 home owners may not even be required to pay taxes on the 'income' as shown on the 1099-C.

    After going through a Las Vegas short sale or a foreclosure, most people have multiple 30, 60, and 90+ day late payments reported on their credit report. When the actual Las Vegas short sale is completed, most banks will report to their client's credit report that their account was "paid in full for less than the full amount."

    Those client's credit report may also be marked as "settled." Each lender has a different way of reporting that a Las Vegas short sale was done, but this is the most common language used. If a Las Vegas home were to go to foreclosure, the owner would most likely see the bank report "Foreclosure".
