Hello,
I have a situation that I would like to double check...
A client sold his house in 2021 and he had a loan cancellation of $70,000.00 in 2010 from his mortgage loan... at the time this was not taxable and it was reported to the IRS... does this affect his basis when I am reporting the sale of the house?
Probably?
If Basis is reduced, will the sale be taxable?

Decreases to Basis
These include the following.
• Discharge of qualified principal residence indebtedness that was excluded from income (but not below
zero).
