1 Chapter 17 Pages General Rules 1. All income is taxable. p Cancelled debt is income. 3. Cancelled debt is taxable: a. To a solvent taxpayer. b. To the extent solvency is restored. Warning! P Form A is issued by a lender when property is reacquired. At this time debt has not been forgiven. 2. Form C is issued by a lender when debt is forgiven. 3. The forms could be issued in different years! Note: if acquisition and debt forgiveness occur in the same year, only Form C need be issued. 1

Even though creditor is still pursuing legal action, if within a 36 month period the creditor has not received a payment, Form C must be issued. 3.
