  • To enter your 1099-C, please use the steps below:
    • Open (continue) your return.
    • Go to Federal Taxes tab
    • Go to the Wages & Income sub-tab
    • If asked, click on "I'll choose what I work on" or "Jump to a Full List"
    • Scroll down to Less Common Income section
    • Click on the Start/Update button next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
    • Click on the Start/Update button next to Cancellation of debt (Form 1099-C) or the abandonment and/or acquisition of secured property (1099-A)

    OR

    1. Open (continue) your return.
    2. In the TurboTax program, search for 1099-C or 1099C (lower-case works also) and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
    3. Select the type of cancelled debt (main home or other) and then click Continue.
    4. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter information from your 1099-C.

    Note: TurboTax does not support both types of canceled debt if they were both reported on 1099-C. In this uncommon situation, refer to IRS publications 544 and 4681 before proceeding, or consult with a professional tax preparer.
