Hi I'm Kate the tax lady and I prepared this video to talk about form 1099 Z now you might receive one of these forms if during the year you had some debt that was cancelled because your home that you were living in was foreclosed on, or you fell chapter 11 bankruptcy and that was finalized here in the year, or you had some credits card debt that was forgiven you made some sort of agreement and had some of that debt forgiven, and so they might send you a form. However, if the reason for your 1099 C is because of other debt like credit card debt then you have more work to do. You have to again go to the IRS website and look for publication four six eight one and then go to page nine and there you will find the insolvency worksheet that you need to complete. You'll need to use this worksheet in order to calculate the extent of your indebtedness at the time that your debt was cancelled. So, for example, if the debt was cancelled on December 31st 2014 then you need to complete the insolvency worksheet with that date in mind.

About Form Instruction 1099-A & 1099-C
Form 1099-A and Form 1099-C are tax forms used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States to report certain canceled or forgiven debts. Form 1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property, is used to report the transfer of ownership of property that was secured by debt, such as a mortgage. This form is typically issued by financial institutions or lenders when a borrower's property is foreclosed, or the lender acquires the property through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. It includes information about the borrower, the property, the outstanding debt amount, fair market value, and any recourse or non-recourse liabilities associated with the debt. Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, is used to report the cancellation or forgiveness of a debt of $600 or more. When a creditor forgives or cancels a debt, the amount forgiven is typically considered taxable income for the borrower. This form is issued by creditors or financial institutions when they cancel or forgive a debt owed by an individual or business. It includes information such as the borrower's identifying details, the amount of debt canceled, the cancellation date, and the reason for cancellation. Both forms are necessary for reporting purposes as they provide information about canceled or forgiven debts that may be considered as income and subject to taxation. These forms are needed by individuals or businesses that have undergone foreclosure, had a debt discharged or canceled, or had a creditor forgive a portion of the debt. The recipients of these forms must include the reported amounts on their federal tax return and report any applicable taxable income unless they qualify for an exclusion or exception.
