If you have had a debt settled for less than the balance, and it is over $600, you most likely will receive a 1099-C from the IRS.
At first, it looks like you will have to pay taxes on the "forgiven" amount, but not necessarily. If your liabilities were greater than you assets at the time of the settlement ("forgiveness"), the amount WILL NOT be included in your taxable income.
BUT.... YOU MUST FILE THE CORRECT FORM AND PROOF OF INSOLVENCY WITH YOUR TAX RETURN!
We have prepared a FREE, SIMPLE-TO-USE packet that will show you exactly what to do.
