    1099C insolvency

    Haven't done one of these in a while. When you have a cancellation of debt of $7000 and you are insolvent, you can only excude the amount by which your liabilities exceed your assets, correct? For example, if your liabilities exceed your assets by $4000, the $3000 is still taxable, as I understand it. Am I correct? Will

    The exclusion is limited to the amount of insolvency and this amount goes to Form 982.

      Don't forget...

      Insolvency is figured just before the debt cancellation takes place.

        To the extent

        that debt cancellation makes you solvent it is taxable. I hope you are also guaranteed an audit making sure ot that. It is a new world out there. Now we have to get used to it.

            Suggest you review Pub 4681. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4681.pdf

            There are a number of insolvency examples and a worksheet. Your question is too general for an specific answer.
