Two Foreclosures

  I Used to own two houses. One house already went forclosed. The second house will go to forclose pretty soon. My concern is how much tax or penalty do i have to pay to IRS? Bank hasnt gave us any paper work after the first houe went forclosed.First house I paid $320k ..sold in auction for $176k..Second house I paid $385..Its not forclosed yet. Please let me know.
 
  The IRS is not going to tax "forgiven debt" on foreclosures or short sales for 2007 through the end of 2009, so you can relax about that at least.
