Notably, Mercury Financial Services charged off my account but failed to provide me with a copy of the Form 1099-C, which is necessary for my tax filings as required by the Internal Revenue Service . According to the Internal Revenue Service, a charged-off amount is considered taxable income that should be reported on my 1040 tax return as taxable income.
