If a creditor sends you a 1099-a is the debt 'forgiven' and how will it appear on your credit report?
Receiving a 1099-A indicates that a creditor has taken possession of collateral or has transferred it, but it does not necessarily mean the debt is forgiven. This form may suggest that the debt was settled or dischargeable, but you are still responsible for any remaining balance unless explicitly stated otherwise. On your credit report, the debt may appear as "settled" or "charged off," which can negatively impact your credit score. It's essential to review your credit report carefully and consult with a financial advisor if needed.
If a bank writes off a debt is it still legally collectible?
If it is designated a charge off the debt is still valid and collectible by any means allowed under state law including a lawsuit against the debtor(s).

A cancelled debt is considered taxable income, the debtor will receive a 1099-C and the amount stated must be claimed on the person's IRS tax return.

1099-C disputed credit card charges?
Form 1099-C is issued when an amount of debt of at least $600 is forgiven. This means that the debt collector understands that you owe the debt but is willing to accept a negotiated amount as part of a settlement. If the amount was disputed and removed through no fault of your own, then a 1099-C should not have been issued. You must generally clear this up with the debt collector and provide proof to the Internal Revenue Service if necessary.

In the case of creditor debt, whenever it is "forgiven" or cancelled the debtor will receive a 1099-C. The IRS considers cancelled debt taxable income and the debtor must report it on the tax return. The good news is the debtor will no longer be subjected to collectors phone calls, the bad news is a forgiven debt of $5,000 can result in $1,700 taxes owed and the IRS one way or another always gets their money.

Is a 1099-C debt forgiven from a real estate short sale taxed and considered as earned income or passive income due to it being Real Estate Rental loss?
Pursuant to the instructions in IRS Publication 4681 income reported on form 1099-C from debt forgiveness is reported on line 3 of schedule E if the debt has to do with non-farm rental real estate. This is the same line you use for rental income. So I believe the answer is that it would be considered passive income from rental real estate absent an election to be considered a real estate professional under IRC 469(c)(7).
