I have been following the progress of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, and I’m happy to tell you that it passed the US House. It is now headed to the Senate. I’m pretty sure it’ll pass and I’m sure President Bush is pretty eager to sign this one into law.

As the title implies, the primary goal of the proposed legislation is to buffer homeowners who currently face an unwelcome tax bill when lenders forgive some of their loans.
I’ll keep you posted on how it fares in the Senate.
