There are accounts that are reporting as Charge offs. CHARGE OFFS ARE CONSIDER CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTNESS AND 1099-C ARE FILED. When a debt is charged off by a creditor, it means the creditor has given up on attempting to collect the debt and has declared it as a loss for tax purposes. When a creditor charges off a debt, they're required to file a 1099-C form with the IRS, which reports the amount of the canceled debt as income. This means that I may owe taxes on the charged-off amount, even though I didn't receive any money from the creditor. According to the IRS Publication 4681 ( 2022 ) Canceled Debts, Foreclosures, Repossessions and Abandonments. Under introduction it states : Generally, if you owe a debt to someone else and they cancel or forgive that debt for less than its full amount, you are treated for income tax purposes as having income and may have to pay tax on this income.

Generally, you must include the canceled debt in your income. A debt includes any indebtedness : For which you are liable, or Subject to which you hold property. Per the IRS, charge offs are considered income and income can not be reported on my credit report. They MUST be REMOVED!
