I am filling out a 1099-C to send to a debtor. I am cancelling just over $5,000 in debt owed to me. On box 7 of the form 1099-C, it states "Fair market value". Would that be the full loan amount of $5,000? Since I didn't have any property to take back and sell, there was nothing of value ever given to me. I never received anything back from the loan.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
In order for me to write-off the debt as noncollectable, I have to use that form. It's just not the clearest instructions, and I dread having to call the IRS to try to get an answer.
