    Tax treatment of loan write off

    Client is in the lending business and writes off loans on the balance sheet due to not being able to collect them. How is the loss written off (capital or ordinary) and which form is used?

    I don't know the answer, but this question, and the other one about Hotel Income, look like they would make great tax school homework assignments, I'll save them off for future reference!

      Business bad debts go on Sche C, 1065, 1120, etc. And don't forget to send out the 1099-C.
