In most situations, if you receive a Form 1099-C from a lender after negotiating a debt cancellation with them, you’ll have to report the amount on that form to the Internal Revenue Service as taxable income.
Is a 1099-c good or bad?
If the amount of your canceled debt is more than $600 and it’s considered taxable, the lender is required to send you a 1099-C form, which includes the cancelled amount that you’ll need to report. If your forgiven debt is less than $600, you might not get a 1099-C, but you’ll still need to report it on your tax return.
Is the 1099-MISC addressed to your wife?
You say that the 1099-Misc is addressed to your wife…does it have your wife’s social security number printed in the box “Recipients Identification Number”, or is the EIN of your wife’s business printed there? If its the EIN of the business just include the income from the 1099s as you normally would with the business.
