PROHIBITION : a law or regulation forbidding something As Defined by The IRS in publication 4681 According to the department of Treasury IRS instructions for form 1099-C it clearly states that form 1099-C must be filed regardless of whether the debtor is required to report the debt as income. So by filing a 1099-C form the debtor is transferring the status of this account from debt to " income '', and income can not be reported on a consumer report based on 15 USC 1681e section ( a ) and 15 USC 1681a . If the debtor filed a 1099-C form with the IRS it had to be filed as income, and if that is the case the income can not be reported on my consumer report. This is a closed account. This is a canceled debt.

Even if you didn't receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return.
