Your question has already been answered here. You only have to file and pay this "forgiven" debt if you get a 1099 from Chase. A letter is not a 1099. You will probably get it next year - Chase is giving you fair warning that they inted to send you the 1099. No, you can't deduct the fees. You paid for a service, it is not like deducting the fees for preparation of taxes. Suggestion, you have a whole year to get ready for this. put the same amount of money in a qualified plan, and it will offset the amount of taxes you will have to pay next year/. Linda
