Subject: "Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007" has been extended!
“American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012’’
Extends
"Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007"
H. R. 8 passed at 2:07am Eastern time on January 1, 2013. Since this wasn’t passed before midnight it retroactively extends the "Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007." The extension is through midnight December 31, 2013. The vote was 89 – 8.
I have attached a copy of H.R. 8 for you.
Here is the pertinent language from H.R. 8:
