If you settled a debt for less than the full amount and received a 1099-C for the rest of the debt how should this appear on your credit report?

AnswerIt will show up as a charged off debt for that creditor, but they may sell the debt to another entity and start collections against you for the debt weather you put it on your taxes or not is irrelevant. However, if you do pay the debt later, you can claim the payoff as a writeoff the same as you did it initially on the taxes but in reverse. Now its a debt if you can claim the debt as a liquidated assest.


Can you buy a home and owe back taxes?

Sure...but getting a mortgage will be tough, if not impossible. And the tax man will be just as happy to seize the house for your debt as they will anything else. Your tax debt can be used as income/debt ratio. Just make sure you are paying off your taxes and not delinquent


When in IRS noncollectable status will you receive tax refund?

Non-collectable status does not mean that you do not have a tax debt and owe taxes, it merely means that at the present time the IRS has deemed the taxes not collectable. At some future time they could always change this status and activate collection efforts against you for taxes owed. While you have a debt owed in back taxes this amount will stay on your account and therefore any refunds you are owed will still be applied to this debt. I have seen people in the past who don't want to file returns or have taxes withheld if they aren't going to get a refund but this is rather stupid as the debt is still their. If you cannot pay it right now at least keep filing returns and let the refunds be applied to reduce your debt. You will be penalized if you don't and your debt will just continue to grow with penalties and interest.


If you pay taxes on a charged off account can a debt collector still collect that account?

If a 1099-C form was received then you are required to pay taxes on the amount shown. This is done when a debt is considered cancelled. A cancelled debt cannot be pursued for collection. ALthough there is no guarantee that unethical collectors wouldn't make an attempt to do so.


What if you get a 1099-C but the debt was settled?

That is a side effect of settling a debt. You really don't get out of it. The company you settled with reports that as money you received. You have to claim it on your taxes in the end.

Do taxes pay off the national debt?

The national debt can be repaid by taxes, but only if the amount of other spending is less than the amount of taxes that are collected. If the government continues to spend more money every year than it collects in taxes, then the debt will necessarily increase.
