If your home was foreclosed or your loan modified you know longer have to worry about claiming the discharged amount due to the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief .  California law has conformed, with the federal mortgage forgiveness debt relief act for discharges occurring on or after January 1, 2009 thru 2012.

If you owe a debt to someone else and they cancel or forgave that debt, the canceled amount may be taxable.

The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 allows taxpayers to exclude that income from the discharge of debt on their primary residence. Debt reduced through a loan modification in connection with a foreclosure, qualifies for the relief.  Up to $2 million of forgiven debt is eligible.

 More information, including detailed examples can be found in Publication 4681, Canceled Debts, Foreclosures, Repossessions, and Abandonments, or contact 310-283-3767

Jan. 2: You know you’re getting a refund and you can’t wait. But do! Don’t head to a place offering a tax refund anticipation loan (RAL) or tax refund check.

You’ll get your refund almost as quickly and at absolutely no cost to you.

Jan. 10: Does your job include tips? If so and you received $20 in tips in December, use Form 4070 to report them today to your employer. And don’t forget to include the value of atypical tips.

Jan. 13: Avoid tax back luck on this Friday the 13th by filing the 1040 that best fits your tax situation. It’s tempting to file the easiest possible form, but that also could shortchange your tax savings. The differences in the long 1040, slightly longer 1040A and the simplest 1040EZ could cost you if you’re not paying attention. Choose carefully.

Jan. 16: On Martin Luther King Day many people opt for a day of service. The time you volunteer isn’t deductible, but some other costs associated with volunteering could help reduce your tax bill.

Jan. 17: The IRS begins accepting e-filed returns today. Even better, you might be able to e-file at no cost if you qualify for Free File.

Jan. 17: Also today, your final 2011 estimated tax payment (1040-ES voucher number 4) is due today. You can skip this filing if you If you file your Form 1040 and pay any taxes due by Jan. 31.

Jan. 23: The brutal winter winds really underscore the value of the home improvements you made last year. Now don’t forget to claim the $500 tax credit for your home energy efficiency upgrade efforts. Unfortunately, this tax break expired at the end of 2011. Congress will decide to reinstate it or some other energy tax credit version for 2012. Other home energy tax credits, however, are still in the tax code. If you install solar,

Aug. 1: The Dog Days of Summer are here. That means heat, heat and more heat. If your home’s cooling system isn’t working properly, consider getting a new one. In addition to helping making your house more comfortable, it might even help you cut your tax bill. If your new unit meets the requirements, you can claim it as an energy-efficient home improvement tax credit.

Aug. 5: This weekend, 11 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia — hold sales tax holidays, most of them pegged to back to school shopping. You might be able to save some dollars, but don’t waste them by buying products you don’t need or that aren’t tax-exempt. Check out what qualifies as a no-tax purchase; the participating states’ tax websites provide details on the holidays. And don’t forget your use taxes.

Aug. 10: Does your job include tips? If so and you received $20 in tips in June, use Form 4070 to report them today to your employer. And don’t forget to include the value of atypical tips.

Aug. 15: How’s your new air conditioner working? Fine? Good. As you literally chill out, consider helping other folks who are still sweating out the summer blasts. Many charitable groups provide energy assistance to low-income individuals, either by helping them pay their utility bills or by supplying them with fans. And if you itemize, your donation could be tax deductible.

Aug. 19: Instead of renovating your old house, maybe you moved into a new home this summer. If so and the move was for a job, or you found employment soon after you settled into your new locale, you might be able to deduct your relocation expenses on your tax return.

Aug. 23: When you were house hunting, you probably looked closely at your new home’s school district. You also need to make some moves for your child’s higher education. There are many tax-favored ways to pay for , such as 529 plans and Coverdell Education Accounts. Don’t forget about the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning education tax credits.

Aug. 27: If you found your new job after a diligent search, make sure you have all the receipts for the costs you incurred finding new employment. You might be able to deduct some of your job-hunting costs.

Aug. 31: You have to itemize to claim any job-search costs. Now’s a good time to review all the miscellaneous expenses you’ve accumulated so far. They must exceed 2 percent of your adjusted gross income. To help meet that deduction threshold, set up a bunching strategy.
