I have a 1099- C is it mandatory to put in when I am filling for my taxes?

Yes, the IRS generally considers canceled, forgiven, or discharged debt reported on Form 1099-C as taxable income, though there are exclusions and exceptions to the rule.

 

When you enter your 1099-C in TurboTax, we'll ask a series of questions to determine if some or all of your 1099-C debt can be excluded.
