Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Take this quick quiz and enter the social security and the 1099-C to see if there is a  Filing requirement. If your grandmother and grandfather were married, they could file joint and exclude up to $29,200 of taxable income (more if over 65 or blind). Since we don't know the amount of cancelled debt, there may not be a need to file.
