He's correct about being able to report it as unearned income. They can hit her with that one.

quote:

Months after successfully resolving credit card debts, consumers may receive 1099-C "cancellation of debt" tax notices in the mail. Why? The U.S. Internal Revenue Service considers forgiven or canceled debt as income. Creditors and debt collectors who agree to accept at least $600 less than the original balance are required by law to file 1099-C forms with the IRS and to send debtors notices as well. Taxpayers must report that portion of forgiven debt as "income" on their federal income tax returns.

go see an attorney. one phone call from an attorney and the whole thing will be taken care of. if you were in louisiana, i could take care of this for you in five minutes and i wouldn't charge you anything.
