    You're fine - nothing to report on your taxes. This 1099-A is for information purposes only. It basically says that you had a mortgage with principal outstanding of $190K per box 2, and the market value of the house was $195K (box 4), so the bank got back more than you actually owed. Hence there was no foregivenes of debt.
