Main Residence Canceled Debt Taxable for California?
ProSeries : 2008I have a customer who lost his main residence on short sale. He received a 1099-C for $573K of debt canceled but a FMV of $0. He also received a 1099-S of $167K, that is the short sale value.
If I complete the Home Sale and the Debt Worksheets I can cancel the debt taxes by a qualified primary residence. However when I transfer to the state, California will charge him taxes on the cancelled debt.
Am I missing something here?
