Every year when tax season rolls around, I receive numerous questions from anxious taxpayers who have received 1099-C forms for debts settled the prior year. People want to know if they will have to pay taxes on the forgiven debt, or how to determine whether the “insolvency exemption” will apply to their specific situation. I wrote a blog post several years ago on the subject of “Debt Settlement, Insolvency, and Income Taxes,” but there still seems to be no end to the questions people have on how to actually perform the calculations needed to determine insolvency.
That’s mainly because the IRS instructions for Form 982 read like they were written by a CPA with a MBA from Harvard and a mission to confuse as many people as possible! Even professionals are frequently stumped on questions about calculating insolvency, figuring out the exemption, and then filling in the rest of the form correctly.
Tax preparation software is of little help in dealing with Form 982. For example, what if you have received more than one 1099-C? There is simply no software out there that is built to handle that type of situation.
Due to the difficulty in understanding how to calculate insolvency and how to fill in Form 982 correctly, every year taxpayers leave millions of dollars on the table by simply ignoring the insolvency exclusion and then paying taxes on the canceled debts, even when they would have qualified for an exemption. Or worse, they ignore the Form 1099-C entirely, don’t claim the income, and then get audited for underreporting!
The IRS instructions for Form 982 indicate that approximately 11 hours of time should be allotted for this one form!!!
If you are preparing your own taxes and need help with handling a 1099-C, YOU NEED THIS CALCULATOR!
If you are a professional tax preparer, you already know what a headache it is to calculate insolvency and reduction of tax attributes. Here is the calculator you’ve been waiting for!
