I am the creditor who issued a 1099-C to a debtor.

I am the creditor who issued a 1099-C to a debtor, to cancel debt they owed me.   I can not find where to enter the deduction/credit on TurboTax Premier 2019.   

I see where to enter a 1099-C if I was the debtor, but nowhere can I find the spot to show that I wrote off bad debt as a creditor.

Thank you in advance for any help.

For a non-business bad debt, you can claim a short-term capital loss by filing form 8949.

Please read this TurboTax article for more information.

Thank you for the reply.  

So this would be something I have to manually add to my return?  TurboTax doesn't ask a question about this scenario?

Thank you Minh!  That worked perfectly!

Tell TurboTax not to hide that question during the step-by-step process lol 😛
