Form 1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property, is a crucial tax document issued to borrowers if their property securing a debt was foreclosed, repossessed, or abandoned. The lender files the form, but the borrower uses information on it to calculate capital gains or losses and taxable income from the cancellation of debt.
If you don’t pay your mortgage, the lender can foreclose on the loan and take your home. That’s an incredibly difficult situation on its own. But it can also trigger many unforeseen consequences – such as a larger tax bill.
If you’re in that position – or a similar one where property you used to secure a loan is foreclosed, repossessed, or abandoned – you might receive an IRS Form 1099-A from the lender. The IRS will receive a copy of the form, too.
It’s an important tax document, since you’ll need the information on the Form 1099-A to calculate your taxes. That’s why understanding the details of Form 1099-A is critical for making sure your tax return is complete and accurate.
