This is inaccurate - The online version does not give you the option to do a 982 regardless. Ive tried numerous ways.

I can input the 1099C without a problem but it continues to tax me for it. That’s why I need the 982 attached but there is no where I am able to get the 982 form to attach to the 1099c

Generally, to get Form 982 to generate in TurboTax you will follow the steps listed below. The IRS has very strict rules for determining whether canceled debt is taxable or not. This is a very complex issue and you should consult a tax professional if you are considering filing Form 982 for exclusion of your taxable debt.

The exceptions to determining a canceled debt as taxable include:

Debt discharged under Title 11 bankruptcy (including chapters 7, 11 & 13)
Canceled debt was on qualified farms and real business property
Debt was canceled due to insolvency (to qualify, you must demonstrate your total debt exceeded the Fair Market Value of all of your assets right before the debt was canceled. Use Insolvency Worksheet in IRS Pub 4681 to determine if you were insolvent)

It is best to use a TurboTax Desktop program to complete Form 982. To switch to a desktop program in TurboTax you can How do I switch from TurboTax Online to TurboTax Desktop?

In your TurboTax Desktop, click on Forms to switch to Forms Mode
In your left panel of your TurboTax Screen at the top right above "Forms in my Return" click on the open forms icon.
Add Form 1099-C (You may have to delete your Form 1099-C that you entered first before doing this).
Enter your Form 1099-C information on Form 1099-C in your right panel of your TurboTax screen
In your left panel Click on Canceled Debt Worksheet
Complete the section that applies to you.
If you are claiming insolvency, you will have to click on the QuickZoom button to complete the statement of insolvency
Then select Form 982 in your left panel and complete the sections that apply to you
You can then click on Schedule 1 in your left panel to make sure your debt was excluded
