Course Description

There is an excellent chance that one or more of your clients will receive a Form 1099C for the cancellation of debt this tax season. Whether it be from a loan modification on their principal residence or the elimination of credit card debt, this cancellation of debt may or may not be taxable income. Do you know what qualifies as the insolvency exception? Or did you know that you may have to adjust the basis of the property for the exclusion amount? Or that some of your principal resident deby may not qualify? In this 2 hour course, Prof Reed will walk through Form 982 and explain how to determine if these exceptions apply to your clients.

Upon successful completion of this course participants will be able to understand and apply the concepts from:


  • IRS Code Section 61 and Form 982.

  • The Advocate Service Publication and IRS Form 1099C.

  • Bankruptcy and Insolvency - IRS Publication 4681 and Form 982.

  • Farming and Business Related Insolvency.

  • The Workout Provisions and IRS Publication 4681.

  • Ordering Provisions and IRS Publication 4681 and Form 982.

  • Basis Attributes and Adjustments and IRS Publication 4681.

  • Knowing the rules regarding Student Loans.
