Resources
Are you a homeowner who has legal, tax, or other questions about your mortgage? Here, you’ll find additional information and links to outside resources that may be able to help in ways the Monitor can’t.
Assistance Websites
Homeowners who are offered modifications to their loans or other forms of relief under the Settlement Agreement may wish to consult a lawyer or a tax advisor to go over their finances and the potential impact of the relief. If you are interested in getting legal or tax help but you can’t afford it or aren’t sure where to find it, visit:
- LawHelp.org
- Legal Services Corporation
- Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE)
- IRS Low Income Taxpayer Clinic
Find additional information at http://www.irs.gov (search: mortgage forgiveness). Or call the IRS taxpayer hotline at 800-829-1040.
