Generally, Yes...you will receive a 1099C evidencing it.
However, if part of a bankruptcy, it may be excludable as taxable income.
You must include all reportable income on the final tax return. Under section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code, forgiveness or discharge of indebtedness is gross income for tax purposes, so looks like that is what you need to do.

Form 982 is Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness (and Section 1082 Basis Adjustment). The amount by which you benefit from a forgiven debt usually is included in your gross income. But under certain circumstances, described in IRS Code Section 108, that amount can be excluded from your gross income and instead is applied to reduce certain specified tax attributes (basis of property, capital loss carryovers, etc.) that otherwise would offset future income. The purpose of Form 982 is to report the exclusion or reduction of these tax attributes.

Not as a loan but if you put it into an account such as savings or checking it can then be taxed A loan is NEVER taxable. (If you invest the money in something, say get paid interest on it, that interest may be taxable, but the principal of the loan never is). Nor is it's repayment ever tax deductible. A loan does NOT change or increase your net worth. The amount you borrow is entirely offset by an equal amount you owe. A loan is NOT income. The receipt of loan amounts that are genuine arms-length transactions where there is a legitimate expectation of being repaid are not includible in gross income, because there is a genuine expectation of a liability arising from the duty to repay, and thus loan proceeds, if the transaction proceeds as expected, do not constitute an accretion to wealth. Interest paid on loan proceeds is includible in gross income. Most, but not all, discharges of indebtedness are includible in gross income under Title 26, United States Code, section 61(a)(1) [I.R.C. section 61(a)(12)]. However, see Title 26, United States Code, section 108 (I.R.C. section 108) for specific items of discharge of indebtedness that are excludible from gross income.
