    Taxes from a 1099C or A
    How does a person prove insolvency if they get a 1099C or A. I know it is assets to debt ratio. How does a person prove that. Does a the original loan amount that was taken over by the bank via foreclosure count as the debt as well or the amount that was not forgiven?

    2. Any debt canceled is your income if it was recourse liability.
    3. If you lived in the house for two years and owned it for two years in last 5-years, you may be eligible to exclude gain of up to $250,000. Read: Your U.S. Tax Return: Profit From the Sale of Your Home
