The mortgage on her home and the IRS are two stparaee entities.  Are you talking about the profit/loss on the home or income taxes she owes?  If you're talking about income taxes, those are not forgiven in bankruptcy.There's a good article here about tax issues when a home is surrendered in bankruptcy:Short answer is that she will receive a 1099 from the bank or mortgage company showing the home as a loss which she will need to report, and she will have to file a form 982 to advise the IRS that the debt forgiveness occurred in bankruptcy and it will have no tax consequences (she won't have to pay taxes on it).
