Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Form 1099-C?

A Form 1099-C, or "Cancellation of Debt," is used to report debt that you've forgiven to someone. This applies to any situation where you cancel a debt of $600 or more, like forgiven credit card debt, written-off medical bills, or foreclosed mortgages. Essentially, it tells the IRS that you forgave a debt and the taxpayer who had the debt will receive a copy for their tax records. It's important to remember that the forgiven debt usually counts as taxable income for the taxpayer.

2. Who needs to file Form 1099-C?

You need to file Form 1099-C if you're considered an "applicable financial entity" and you forgive or cancel a debt of $600 or more owed by a taxpayer.
This applies to businesses like:
  • Banks
  • Credit unions
  • Collection agencies
  • Healthcare providers (for medical bills)
  • Mortgage lenders (for foreclosures)
In short, if you're a business that forgives a significant debt, you'll likely need to file a 1099-C.
