    I filed bankruptcy on a home in 2008 it was discharged. I received a 1099-A
    Form from the lender. Do I have to file this on my federal taxes??

    The 1099-A is for information purposes only. It shows the fair market value of the home, and the amount of principal that was outstanding on your mortgage loan. If FMV > principal, then no worries. If FMV < principal, then the loan company should send you a 1099-C to document the amount of loan foregiveness. Generally, companies will send either a 1099-A or a 1099-C, but not both.
