How will a 1099-C affect my tax return?

In most situations, if you receive a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, from the lender that forgave the debt, youll have to report the amount of cancelled debt on your tax return as taxable income.

How much tax will I pay on cancelled debt?

Canceled debt is taxed at the same rate as ordinary income. As a taxpayer, your tax rate depends on your tax bracket and can range from 10% to 37% depending on your taxable income. For example, if youre in the 15% tax bracket and had $10,000 of debt discharged, you may owe income taxes up to $1,500.

Can a creditor still collect after issuing a 1099-C?

No, a creditor generally cannot collect the debt after it is forgiven and a Form 1099-C has been issued, although creditors may try to collect other debts. It might be best for you to get legal advice in this case.

Is cancellation of debt a good thing?

Cancellation of debt means your lender has agreed that you no longer have to repay what you owe. It could be through a debt settlement, bankruptcy or student loan forgiveness program. But the bad news is that you may owe taxes on the forgiven debt, it could affect your credit score, and the process can be complicated.

What does it mean when you get a 1099C?

After a debt is canceled, the creditor may send you a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt showing the amount canceled and date of cancellation. Contact the creditor if you receive a 1099-C reflecting incorrect information.
