Cancellation of Debt

Financial hardships cause taxpayers to lose properties in foreclosure, file bankruptcy, or restructure debt in some fashion. We’re seeing a lot of Forms 1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property, and 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, included in our client’s year-end tax info. We need to understand if our client has taxable income as a result or if one of the exclusions applies!
