To add to WhyChat's astute comments: A 1099C is forgiveness of debt. Translation: the balance due can never be sold to another ca. The IRS does consider it income to you, but if you are insolvent (more debt than assets) in the year it is issued, you do not have to pay taxes on it. You do have to file the appropriate forms with the irs to claim this status.
