Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property and Cancellation of Debt
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code
Specific Instructions for Form 1099-A
unless otherwise noted.
File Form 1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of
Future Developments
Secured Property, for each borrower if you lend money in
For the latest information about developments related to
Forms 1099-A and 1099-C and their instructions, such as
legislation enacted after they were published, go to
connection with your trade or business and, in full or
partial satisfaction of the debt, you acquire an interest in
property that is security for the debt, or you have reason to
know that the property has been abandoned. You need
not be in the business of lending money to be subject to
this reporting requirement.
What’s New
Continuous-use form and instructions. Form 1099-A,
Form 1099-C, and these instructions have been
converted from an annual revision to continuous use. Both
the form and instructions will be updated as needed. For
Coordination With Form 1099-C
If, in the same calendar year, you cancel a debt of $600 or
more in connection with a foreclosure or abandonment of
secured property, it is not necessary to file both Form
1099-A and Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, for the
same debtor. You may file Form 1099-C only. You will
meet your Form 1099-A filing requirement for the debtor
by completing boxes 4, 5, and 7 on Form 1099-C.
However, if you file both Forms 1099-A and 1099-C, do
not complete boxes 4, 5, and 7 on Form 1099-C. See the

Governmental unit. A governmental unit, or any of its
subsidiary agencies, that lends money secured by
property must file Form 1099-A.
Subsequent holder. A subsequent holder of a loan is
treated as a lender and is required to report events
occurring after the loan is transferred to the new holder.
Multiple lenders. If more than one person lends money
secured by property and one lender forecloses or
otherwise acquires an interest in the property and the sale
or other acquisition terminates, reduces, or otherwise
impairs the other lenders' security interests in the
property, the other lenders must file Form 1099-A for each
of their loans.
For example, if a first trust holder forecloses on a
building, and the second trust holder knows or has reason
to know of such foreclosure, the second trust holder must
file Form 1099-A for the second trust even though no part
of the second trust was satisfied by the proceeds of the
foreclosure sale.
Account Number
The account number is required if you have multiple
accounts for a borrower for whom you are filing more than
one Form 1099-A. Additionally, the IRS encourages you
to designate an account number for all Forms 1099-A that
you file. See part L in the current General Instructions for
Certain Information Returns.
Box 1. Date of Lender's Acquisition or
Knowledge of Abandonment
For an acquisition, enter the date you acquired the
secured property. An interest in the property is generally
acquired on the earlier of the date title is transferred to the
lender or the date possession and the burdens and
benefits of ownership are transferred to the lender. If an
objection period is provided by law, use the date the
objection period expires. If you purchase the property at a
sale held to satisfy the debt, such as at a foreclosure or
execution sale, use the later of the date of sale or the date
the borrower's right of redemption, if any, expires.
When To File
File Form 1099-A in the year following the calendar year in
which you acquire an interest in the property or first know
or have reason to know that it has been abandoned.
For an abandonment, enter the date you knew or had
reason to know that the property was abandoned unless
you expect to commence a foreclosure, execution, or
similar action within 3 months, as explained earlier. If a
third party purchases the property at a foreclosure,
execution, or similar sale, the property is treated as
abandoned, and you have reason to know of its
abandonment on the date of sale.
Abandonment
An abandonment occurs when the objective facts and
circumstances indicate that the borrower intended to and
has permanently discarded the property from use. You
have “reason to know” of an abandonment based on all
the facts and circumstances concerning the status of the
property. You will be deemed to know all the information
that would have been discovered through a reasonable
inquiry when, in the ordinary course of business, you
become aware or should become aware of circumstances
indicating that the property has been abandoned. If you
expect to commence a foreclosure, execution, or similar
sale within 3 months of the date you had reason to know
that the property was abandoned, reporting is required as
of the date you acquire an interest in the property or a
third party purchases the property at such sale. If you
expect to but do not commence such action within 3
months, the reporting requirement arises at the end of the
3-month period.
Box 2. Balance of Principal Outstanding
Enter the balance of the debt outstanding at the time the
interest in the property was acquired or on the date you
first knew or had reason to know that the property was
abandoned. Include only unpaid principal on the original
debt. Do not include accrued interest or foreclosure costs.
Box 3. Reserved for Future Use
Box 4. Fair Market Value (FMV) of Property
For a foreclosure, execution, or similar sale, enter the
FMV of the property. See Temporary Regulations section
1.6050J-1T, Q/A-32. Generally, the gross foreclosure bid
price is considered to be the FMV. If an abandonment or
voluntary conveyance to the lender in lieu of foreclosure
occurred and you placed an “X” in the checkbox in box 5,
enter the appraised value of the property. Otherwise,
make no entry in this box.
Statements to Borrowers
If you are required to file Form 1099-A, you must provide a
statement to the borrower. Furnish a copy of Form 1099-A
or an acceptable substitute statement to each borrower.
For more information about the requirement to furnish a
statement to the borrower, see part M in the current
General Instructions for Certain Information Returns.
Box 5. Was Borrower Personally Liable for
Repayment of the Debt
If the borrower was personally liable for repayment of the
debt at the time the debt was created or, if modified, at the
time of the last modification, enter an “X” in the checkbox.
Truncating borrower's TIN on statements. Pursuant to
Regulations section 301.6109-4, all filers of Form 1099-A
may truncate a borrower's TIN (social security number
(SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN),
adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or
employer identification number (EIN)) on payee

Enter a general description of the property. For real
property, you must generally enter the address of the

6. Any organization whose significant trade or
later; and
business is the lending of money, such as a finance
company or credit card company (whether or not affiliated
with a financial institution). The lending of money is a
significant trade or business if money is lent on a regular
and continuing basis. Regulations section 1.6050P-2(b)
lists three safe harbors under which reporting may not be
required for the current year. See Safe harbor rules next.

date of the identifiable event. See When Is a Debt

CAUTION
income.
Safe harbor rules. The three safe harbor rules in which
an entity will not be considered to have a significant trade
or business of lending money are the following.
1. No prior year reporting required. An organization
will not have a significant trade or business of lending
money for the current year if the organization was not
required to report in the prior year and if its gross income
from lending money in the most recent test year (see (3)
below) is less than both 15% of the organization's gross
income and $5 million.
2. Prior year reporting requirement. An organization
that had a prior year reporting requirement will not have a
significant trade or business of lending money for the
current year if, for each of the 3 most recent test years, its
gross income from lending money is less than both 10%
of the organization's gross income and $3 million.
3. No test year. Newly formed organizations are
considered not to have a significant trade or business of
lending money even if the organization lends money on a
regular and continuing basis. However, this safe harbor
does not apply to an entity formed or availed of for the
principal purpose of holding loans acquired or originated
by another entity. In this instance, the transferee entity
(including real estate mortgage investment conduits
(REMICs) and pass-through securitized indebtedness
arrangements) may be required to report cancellation of
indebtedness on Form 1099-C. See Regulations section
1.6050P-1(e)(5).
The debtor may be an individual, corporation,
partnership, trust, estate, association, or company.
Do not combine multiple cancellations of a debt to
determine whether you meet the $600 reporting
requirement unless the separate cancellations are under a
plan to evade the Form 1099-C requirements.
Coordination With Form 1099-A
If, in the same calendar year, you cancel a debt of $600 or
more in connection with a foreclosure or abandonment of
secured property, it is not necessary to file both Form
1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured
Property, and Form 1099-C for the same debtor. You may
file Form 1099-C only. You will meet your Form 1099-A
filing requirement for the debtor by completing boxes 4, 5,
and 7 on Form 1099-C. However, you may file both Forms
1099-A and 1099-C; if you do file both forms, do not
complete boxes 4, 5, and 7 on Form 1099-C. See the
Who Must File
File Form 1099-C if you are any of the following.
1. A financial institution described in section 581 or
591(a) (such as a domestic bank, trust company, building
and loan association, or savings and loan association).
Instructions for Forms 1099-A and 1099-C (Rev. 01-2022) -3-
occurs, you may choose to file Form 1099-C for the year
of cancellation. No further reporting is required even if a
later identifiable event occurs with respect to an amount
previously reported. Also, you are not required to file an
additional or corrected Form 1099-C if you receive
payment on a prior year debt.
Test year defined. A test year is a tax year of the
organization that ends before July 1 of the previous
calendar year.
For example, X, a calendar year taxpayer who has a
significant trade or business of lending money, is formed
in year 1. X will not have a test year in year 1 or year 2.
However, for year 3, X's test year will be year 1. In year 3,
year 1 is the only year that ended before July 1 of the
previous calendar year (in this example, year 2).
When Is a Debt Canceled?
A debt is deemed canceled on the date an identifiable
event occurs or, if earlier, the date of the actual discharge
if you choose to file Form 1099-C for the year of

2. A cancellation or extinguishment making the debt
unenforceable in a receivership, foreclosure, or similar
federal nonbankruptcy or state court proceeding. Enter

Multiple creditors. If a debt is owned (or treated as
owned for federal income tax purposes) by more than one
creditor, each creditor that is described under Who Must
File, earlier, must issue a Form 1099-C if that creditor's
part of the canceled debt is $600 or more. A creditor will
be deemed to have met its filing requirements if a lead
bank, fund administrator, or other designee of the creditor
complies on its behalf. The designee may file a single
Form 1099-C reporting the aggregate canceled debt or
may file Form 1099-C for that creditor's part of the

of limitations for collecting the debt expires, or when the
statutory period for filing a claim or beginning a deficiency
judgment proceeding expires. Expiration of the statute of
limitations is an identifiable event only when a debtor's
affirmative statute of limitations defense is upheld in a final
judgment or decision of a court and the appeal period has
expired. Enter “C” in box 6 to report this identifiable event.
4. A cancellation or extinguishment when the creditor
elects foreclosure remedies that by law extinguish or bar
the creditor's right to collect the debt. This event applies to
a mortgage lender or holder who is barred by local law
from pursuing debt collection after a “power of sale” in the
mortgage or deed of trust is exercised. Enter “D” in box 6
to report this identifiable event.
canceled debt. Use any reasonable method to determine
the amount of each creditor's part of the canceled debt.
Debt owned by a partnership is treated as owned by
the partners and must follow the rules for multiple
creditors.
Pass-throughs and REMICs. Until further guidance is
issued, no penalty will apply for failure to file Form
1099-C, or provide statements to debtors, for a canceled
debt held in a pass-through securitized debt arrangement
or held by a REMIC. However, see item 3 under Safe
harbor rules, earlier.
A pass-through securitized debt arrangement is any
arrangement in which one or more debts are pooled and
held for 20 or more persons whose interests in the debt
are undivided co-ownership interests that are freely
transferable. Co-ownership interests that are actively
traded personal property (as defined in Regulations
section 1.1092(d)-1) are presumed to meet these
requirements.
5. A cancellation or extinguishment making the debt
unenforceable under a probate or similar proceeding.
Enter “E” in box 6 to report this identifiable event.
6. A discharge of indebtedness under an agreement
between the creditor and the debtor to cancel the debt at
less than full consideration (for example, short sales).
Enter “F” in box 6 to report this identifiable event.
7. A discharge of indebtedness because of a decision
or a defined policy of the creditor to discontinue collection
activity and cancel the debt. A creditor's defined policy
can be in writing or an established business practice of
the creditor. A creditor's established practice to stop
collection activity and abandon a debt when a particular
nonpayment period expires is a defined policy. Enter “G”
in box 6 to report this identifiable event.

8. Other actual discharge before identifiable event.
Enter “H” in box 6 if there is an other actual discharge

costs, and fines. The amount of debt canceled may be all
or only part of the total amount owed. However, for a
lending transaction, you are required to report only the

8. Seller financing. Organizations whose principal
trade or business is the sale of nonfinancial goods or
nonfinancial services, and who extend credit to customers
in connection with the purchase of those nonfinancial
goods and nonfinancial services, are not considered to
have a significant trade or business of lending money,
with respect to the credit extended in connection with the
purchase of those goods or services, for reporting
discharge of indebtedness on Form 1099-C. See
Regulations section 1.6050P-2(c). But the reporting
applies if a separate financing subsidiary of the retailer
extends the credit to the retailer's customers.
9. Student loan indebtedness. For discharges
occurring after December 31, 2017, you are not required
to file Form 1099-C for student loan indebtedness if the
discharge of the debt is due to the student's death or
permanent and total disability.
Rev. Proc. 2020-11 establishes a safe harbor
extending the relief provided under Rev. Proc. 2015-57,
2015-51 I.R.B. 863, Rev. Proc. 2017-24, 2017-7 I.R.B.
916, and Rev. Proc. 2018-39, 2018-34 I.R.B. 319, to
additional taxpayers who took out federal or private
student loans to finance attendance at a nonprofit or
for-profit school. Relief is also extended to any creditor
that is an applicable entity, as defined by section 6050P
and the regulations thereunder, that would otherwise be
required to file information returns and furnish payee
statements pursuant to section 6050P for the discharge of
any indebtedness within the scope of this revenue
procedure. The IRS will not assert that a creditor that is an
applicable entity, as defined by section 6050P and the
regulations thereunder, must file information returns and

relief.
b. The year in which the debt is discharged in
bankruptcy.
A debt is incurred for business if it is incurred in
connection with the conduct of any trade or business
other than the trade or business of performing services as
an employee. A debt is incurred for investment if it is
incurred to purchase property held for investment (as
defined in section 163(d)(5)).
2. Interest. You are not required to report interest.
However, if you choose to report interest as part of the
canceled debt in box 2, you must show the interest
separately in box 3.
3. Nonprincipal amounts. Nonprincipal amounts
include penalties, fines, fees, and administrative costs.
For a lending transaction, you are not required to report
any amount other than stated principal. A lending
transaction occurs when a lender loans money to, or
makes advances on behalf of, a borrower (including
revolving credit and lines of credit). For a nonlending
transaction, nonprincipal amounts are included in the
debt. However, until further guidance is issued, no
penalties will be imposed for failure to report these
amounts in nonlending transactions.
4. Foreign debtors. Until further guidance is issued, no
penalty will apply if a financial institution does not file Form
1099-C for a debt canceled by its foreign branch or
foreign office for a foreign debtor, provided all the
following apply.
a. The financial institution is engaged in the active
conduct of a banking or similar business outside the
United States.
b. The branch or office is a permanent place of
business that is regularly maintained, occupied, and used
to carry on a banking or similar financial business.
c. The business is conducted by at least one
employee of the branch or office who is regularly in
attendance at the place of business during normal
working hours.
d. The indebtedness is extended outside the United
States by the branch or office in connection with that trade
or business.
Multiple Debtors
For debts of $10,000 or more incurred after 1994 that
involve debtors who are jointly and severally liable for the
debt, you must report the entire amount of the canceled
debt on each debtor's Form 1099-C. Multiple debtors are
jointly and severally liable for a debt if there is no clear and
convincing evidence to the contrary. If it can be shown
that joint and several liability does not exist, a Form
1099-C is required for each debtor for whom you canceled
a debt of $600 or more.
e. The financial institution does not know or have
reason to know that the debtor is a U.S. person.
5. Related parties. Generally, a creditor is not required
to file Form 1099-C for the deemed cancellation of a debt
that occurs when the creditor acquires the debt of a
related debtor, becomes related to the debtor, or transfers
the debt to another creditor related to the debtor.
However, if the transfer to a related party by the creditor
was for the purpose of avoiding the Form 1099-C
requirements, Form 1099-C is required. See section
108(e)(4).
6. Release of a debtor. You are not required to file
Form 1099-C if you release one of the debtors on a debt
as long as the remaining debtors are liable for the full
unpaid amount.
For debts incurred before 1995 and for debts of less
than $10,000 incurred after 1994, you must file Form
1099-C only for the primary (or first-named) debtor.
If you know or have reason to know that the multiple
debtors were husband and wife who were living at the
same address when the debt was incurred, and you have
no information that these circumstances have changed,
you may file only one Form 1099-C.

that cancellation, enter the date that you actually canceled
the debt.
Recordkeeping
If you are required to file Form 1099-C, you must retain a
copy of that form or be able to reconstruct the data for at
least 4 years from the due date of the return.
Box 2. Amount of Debt Discharged
Enter the amount of the canceled debt. See Debt Defined
cannot be greater than the total debt less any amount the
lender receives in satisfaction of the debt by means of a
settlement agreement, foreclosure sale, a short sale that
partially satisfied the debt, etc.
Requesting TINs
You must make a reasonable effort to obtain the correct
name and TIN of the person whose debt was canceled.
You may obtain the TIN when the debt is incurred. If you
do not obtain the TIN before the debt is canceled, you
must request the debtor's TIN. Your request must clearly
notify the debtor that the IRS requires the debtor to furnish
its TIN and that failure to furnish such TIN subjects the
debtor to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS. You may use
Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number
and Certification, to request the TIN. However, a debtor is
not required to certify his or her TIN under penalties of
perjury.
Box 3. Interest if Included in Box 2
Enter any interest you included in the canceled debt in
box 2. You are not required to report interest in box 2. But
if you do, you must also report it in box 3.
Box 4. Debt Description
Enter a description of the origin of the debt, such as
student loan, mortgage, or credit card expenditure. Be as
specific as possible. If you are filing a combined Form
1099-C and 1099-A, include a description of the property.
Statements to Debtors
If you are required to file Form 1099-C, you must provide a
copy of Form 1099-C or an acceptable substitute
statement to each debtor. In the current General
Instructions for Certain Information Returns, see:
Box 5. Check Here if the Debtor Was Personally
