    Generally not, assuming that this was your principal residence. The 1099A is for is for information purpooses only. What this is showing is that you "sold" your house - which was worth $230K - to the lender in exchange for forgiving a loan of $213K. So the lender came out ahead. You therefore have nothing to report to the IRS, unless the $213K is greater than your cost basis.
