What if a creditor doesn't send you a 1099c form how will I know if they intend to send this to the IRS and will I be responsible for the debt if it is not sent to the IRS?

Taxpayers can always request a copy of their Wage & Income Transcript from the IRS each year. This report provides you with everything that has been reported against your social security number for the current year. The IRS compares your Wage Transcript against your file return each year. If you do not receive a 1099-C in one year, then there is a possiblity that the company issuing the 1099-C could report it in the next year. I would highly suggest that all taxpayers request a copy of their transcript so that they report everything. In a case where you receive the 1099-C but the company does not send it to the IRS, you are still legally bound to report the debt discharge. Sharon http://taxresolutionaries.blogspot.com

Do you owe the difference on a 1099C?
See my answer to post on "collections after 1099c???" Do you mean owe the difference to a creditor? Answer no 1099c is a confirmation that a debt has been canceled by the creditor. No further obligation of repayment by debtor is expected or can be requested. This may be income to you according to the IRS whom also gets a copy of the 1099c.
Does a 1099C mean the creditor has cancelled the debt?
Yes. A 1099C is confirmation from the creditor or lender that the debt has been cancelled and collection efforts have ended. The bad news is, the amount shown on the 1099C is considered taxable income and must be claimed on your federal tax return.
How do you get a 1099c?
See my answer to post "Collections after 1099c???" A creditor will send you, the debtor, (and the IRS) a copy if they have decided to cancel (forgive) your debt by issuance of a 1099c which means they will give up their right to any further collection of this debt.
Do you have to file a 1099c for credit card debt that was discharged in chapter 7 bankruptcy?
The debtor does not "file" a 1099C. The debtor may receive a 1099C from the creditor which also sends it to the IRS. The discharge of the debt in bankruptcy nullifies the 1099C. There is a form or a part of the 1040 set for disclosing this information to the IRS.
How long after your bankruptcy discharge will it take to get a 1099-C from a creditor our discharge was Dec 12 08?
You should not get a 1099C if the deficiency was discharged in a bankruptcy. Otherwise, you should have gotten one by now.
I filed a 1099c for debt and the account was sold to a new creditor do I have to pay?
You mean you received a 1099C right...you had (cancellation of debt)income because you had a bankruptcy or failed to pay what the persdon issuing it to you had loaned you. In any case, no matter what the circumstances, the facts haven't changed....just the name of who you owe that debt to. That doesn't change anything about your accounting, taxability or reporting obligation.
Can I not report 1099c on Massachusetts state tax?
If a copy of 1099C has not been sent to the state, how would the state know?
Paid a monthly fee for 2 years to Legal Helpers and was told the Creditor was negotiated with and agreed on a min amount and was paid by Legal Helpers.Does a 1099C mean the creditor wasnt paid at all?
No, it means you 'gained' income by not paying the money back. The IRS wants to tax your income so the 1099 is telling them how much you benefited.
Can a car get repo after 1099c?

Will cancelled credit card debt be reported on a credit report?
It should. * Yes, and the debtor will receive a 1099C from the creditor, the amount shown on the form is considered taxable income under IRS rules and must be reported on the debtor's tax return as such.
Are bad debts that are written off taxable or not?
"Written off" does not always (usually) mean a debt is not still collectible. The term "forgiven" indicates that the creditor no longer considers the debt valid. When a debt is forgiven the debtor will receive a 1099C from the creditor/collector and a copy is sent to the IRS.. The debt is then considered income and must be reported on the debtor's tax return as such.
What should you do if you got a 1099C from a creditor even though you paid them off in full in August and they didn't write anything off?
Call first of course, but send them by certified mail, a copy of your payoff info and request they correct their records and acknowlege doing so by sending an Amended 1099C, (it may actually have a form number like 1099C-AMD). They aren't going to like doing so, because making amended filings for them is always a time consuming and expensive process, but they would have to. If they respond with any reasons they believe the 1099C you received is required, you can deal with that. If they don't respond or send the amended, the documentation you have should become part of your tax records and would appear to be sufficent to show your acting properly in not reporting the income.
