mircpa Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hello all My client received 1099-C cancellation of debt for his primary residence to amount of 172K for year 2013 after filing tax return. My question, is 1040X still required even if there is no change in taxable income, i would be filing 982. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 i WOULD FILE IT, OTHERWISE IN ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO HE'LL BE GETTING A CP2000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraEA Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Unless you file, the IRS doesn't know it's the taxpayer's primary residence and qualifies for the exclusion. Kind of like when someone sells $100k stock at a loss. The IRS computers assume it's all income unless a Sch D shows otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mircpa Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 With scenario described above, why should I be attaching schedule D ? From what I understand I would include 1040X with no changes and form 982 under part 1 box 1 e checked and amount of discharged debt 172K goes on line 2. Correct me if I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Sara mentioned Sch D only because her example related to how an unreported stock sale would trigger the CP2000. I agree that you should file the 1040X to document the discharged debt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
