    Short Sale Potential 1099-C Scenario

    Hypothetical:

    According to a RE broker, most lenders are willing to forgive debt for Qualified Personal Residence in a Short Sale. Therefore, one would presume no 1099-C? Does anyone know what reality is with regard to whether the lending institution will not issue a 1099-C if the mortgage is forgiven? Not sure what happens in the scheme of things when bank says we have forgiven your debt based on the circumstances. I know that a 1099-S will probably issued however.

    Thanks for your comments.

    An additional thought about the post

    Also, what if person took out cash of the equity? So bottom line is, even if no 1099-C was issued, would a taxpayer still be required to report any debt forgiven.

    In summary, we have the cash out situation and unknown whether bank will issue a 1099-C based on forgiveness of debt.

      The lender should issue a 1099-C. Only acquisition debt will be excluded using a 982. In addition, the 1099-C will contain information pertinent for the sale reporting.
