badgermom Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I had a charged off debt dropped from my cr from Bank Of America a few years ago. I mistakenly used Nationwide asset services for debt elimination. last month I recieved from boa a 1099 (amount $8000). Actually, it appears boa sent it to Nationwide and they sent it to me. Have an appointment to have taxes done first week in April. I am self employed and file jointly with hubby, whose retirement income is tax free. Any thoughts on what I could expect? I assume I am obligated to show this to my tax accountant. don't want to ask for any trouble by not. Is this amount gonna be added to my income? My income for last year was only $23,000. that's alot to add to my income and have to pay taxes on.. any advice? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomnTex Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 You need to declare it on your taxes. If you can show insolvency for the year it was issued, you might be able to wipe it out. It's considered income.I received one last month from from a default three years ago. My tax person told me that I needed to show insolvency for that year. Also, you might ask your tax person about filing married but separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomnTex Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 My tax person told me that since I could "show that I was not making an income" at that time, that I should be able to wipe it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willingtocope Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 You want IRS Pub 982. It describes the forms. And yes, in order to qualify, its a lot like qualifing for a BK7 without any exemptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgermom Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I did include the 1099 on taxes and the outcome was not too bad! In the end I had to pay but it wasn't much.. much relieved!! I believe it is still showing on my cr as charged off. anything I could do about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomnTex Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 It will remain on your CR for 7.5 years before it falls off from when the OC originally posted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
