    1099-C form IRS
    Hello
    About 2 years ago I was approached by a person regarding a business loan. I accepted a loan form this person in the amount of 67K by a check. This was made out to my LLC and deposited into my business checking account. I waited the required amount of time set by the bank before the fund were accessed. 3o days later it turns out that the check was stolen and forged. I filed a police report and it turns out that the check was stolen out of Canada. Because the bank cannot do anything legally to me and I was a victim of fraud they have sent me a 1099-C form. What am I expected to do now ?

    Challenge the Form 1099-C with the IRS; it is NOT a valid use of the Form 1099-C. Call the IRS Fraud and Abuse Hotline.

    The bank is being vindictive and stupid; the IRS takes a dim view of such abuses, however, and they should get the problem resolved.
