I had a $31,000 debt that I settled in full for $6000. Now I received a 1099c for $25,000.
I know this $25,000 is the unpaid portion of the total debt, but I also know that the penalties and interest that accrued for this debt to reach $31,000 were not calculated into this amount on the 1099c.
When I file taxes will I be able to subtract/calculate the interest and penalties accrued for this original $31,000 debt - so they will not be part of the total adjustment to my annual income?
