What should I do if I didn't receive a 1099-C like I was expecting?

I settled a lawsuit over medical debt, and I was under the assumption I would get a 1099-C, however I never received one.

Wait until you receive Form 1099-C; don't include the debt on 2018 tax return if no form is generated.

However, you may want to contact your lawyer and/or the creditor to make sure no Form 1099-C got lost in the mail.
