Form 1099-C is used by lenders whom you canceled $600 or more of a debt owed to you in the same calendar year as 1099-A. You do not need to file both a 1099-A and 1099-C. Fill out boxes 4, 5, and 7 on the 1099-A to meet your filing requirements. However, if you do file both a 1099-A and 1099-C, do not fill out boxes 4, 5, and 7 on Form 1099-C.

Who Must File 1099-C Form?
- If there are multiple owners of an undivided interest loan, the trustee or record owner must file Form 1099-A on everyone’s behalf. One form for each borrower will be filed.
- A government unit, or any subsidiary agencies, that lends money secured by the property must file 1099-A
- A subsequent owner of a loan is treated as a lender. This means that they are required to report events occurring after the loan is transferred to the new holder.
- If more than one person lends money secured by property and one lender forecloses or otherwise acquires an interest in the property and the sale or other acquisition terminates, reduces, or otherwise impairs the other lenders’ security interests in the property, the other lenders must file Form 1099-A for each of their loans.
