How does a 1099-c affect my taxes?
Form 1099-C can affect your taxes because canceled debt may be treated as taxable income. If a lender cancels or forgives debt, the canceled amount reported on Form 1099-C may need to be included on your federal income tax return.
However, not all canceled debt is taxable. Certain exceptions and exclusions may apply, such as debt canceled in bankruptcy or when you were insolvent.
