Get your taxes done using TurboTax
To qualify for the insolvency, you must show that all of your liabilities (debts) were more than the Fair Market Value of all of your assets immediately before the cancellation of debt.
To show that you are insolvent and are excluding your canceled debt from income, you must fill out Form 982. Although the form is available in Turbo Tax, it is not available on line. You would have to use a cd/download and fill out the form manually, there is no interview questions for this.
I recommend that you first read the following links and fill out the insolvency worksheet and the form from the IRS website. Once you have completed it, purchase the cd/download to enter the forms' information into the software.
Please refer to page 5 for insolvency explanation and page 8 for insolvency worksheet:
