Handling Cancellation of Debt Income for Individuals
2 CPE for AFSP, EA, CPA, CRTP
​
Financial hardships can cause taxpayers to abandon their properties, have their properties foreclosed, file for bankruptcy or restructure their debt. As a result, they may receive Forms 1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property, and/or 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, with their year-end information. Our job is to determine whether the taxpayer has taxable income as a result and how to report it. Additionally, we will review when to use Form 982, Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness (and Section 1082 Basis Adjustment).
