Yes. The lender must send a 1099-C to you and the IRS, so its a matter of record. A loan isn't, but at the time the debt is forgiven or cancelled, it is the same as if you were simply given money . (Or even closer to if you stole money, which is also income..you effectively got income by not paying what you were supposed to). Or looking at it another way, the lender would have taxable income of that amount more, had you done what you promised, (which in fact they probably already reported as income from a sale and just had an account receivable for the amount yet to come), and will now be able to take a bad debt deduction for the amount they didn't receive ( and recover the income tax they essentially overpaid). It is called Cancellation of Indebtedness, or COID for short,

What is the best definition of taxable income?
For Federal income tax purposes, taxable income is the portion of a taxpayer's gross income on which his regular income tax liability (before payments and credits) for the year is based. Income from any given source is taxable, unless the Code specifically says it isn't taxable. Calculation: Taxable income starts with gross income, which according to the US Internal Revenue Code, is all income from whatever source derived. Gross income is then reduced by certain adjustments allowed by the IRS (e.g. for student loan interest, alimony paid, and 10 or so other specific items) to get adjusted gross income. Adjusted gross income is then reduced by exemptions (both personal and for any dependents) and itemized deductions (or the standard deduction) to arrive at taxable income.
