I got a 1099C (cancellation of debt) for a 2nd on my house that was cancelled in a Bankruptcy, Is this amount Taxable

[NicoleU · Accepted solution]

A lender issues Form 1099-C when a debt is canceled. If you received a Form 1099-C because a debt that you owed has been canceled you might need to include this amount as income on your return. 

Income from cancellation of debt is not taxed if any of the following conditions apply:

 - The cancellation is intended as a gift

 - The debt is qualified farm debt

 - The debt is qualified real property business debt

 - You are insolvent or bankrupt

 - The debt is qualified principal residence indebtedness

If one of these conditions apply, please see this link: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/5777565

If you do not meet any of the conditions, you will need to do the following in TurboTax:

• Federal Taxes
• Wages & Income
• Less Common Income
• Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, please click Start
