If you lost a home to foreclosure last year or paid mortgage insurance premiums, there is some good news. Congress enacted laws in late 2007 to allow deduction of some mortgage insurance premiums. This could amount to a tax break of up to $350. The foreclosure tax break applies to all taxpayers who were granted forgiveness of mortgage debt. Previously, this amount was fully taxable and could have run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
