<p class="MsoNormal">You may want to look at <i>Carl T. Miller Trust v. Commissioner</i>, 76 TC 191 (1981). The court held the estate realized income under 61(a)(11) from the discharge of indebtedness in the year in which the state’s nonclaim statute barred
the payment of the debt owed by the decedent at death. Arriving at its decision, the court noted that under state law the claims were forever barred against the estate because the creditor failed to file a claim within the specified time, and that the estate
could not waive the bar.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We just filed a Declaration of Completion in a modest probate case where credit card company compromised a few thousand $s of debt after a two minute phone call . Given we weren’t sure if we’d face some sort of cancellation of debt issue,
I recommended PR hold back some $ as permitted to deal with the potential tax liability just to be safe. Client was happy debt was compromised but I could see in some situations it might not be worth the hassle.

<p class="MsoNormal">I believe that the debt is cancelled upon the earlier of an identifiable event or the date the 1099-C is filed. One identifiable event listed in the IRS 1099-C instructions is "[a] cancellation or extinguishment making the debt unenforceable
under a probate or similar proceeding." If a creditor claims is cut off in probate after notice, then I would venture that is the moment the debt is cancelled. For most, this would occur prior to distribution.<o:p></o:p></p>

that is there was no debt because WF had no legal right to the money claimed owed. Second, I could, with a straight face, argue that one of the Section 108 exclusions apply – Code Section 108(a)(1)(B) states that there is no income if the taxpayer was insolvent
when <u>the discharge occurred</u>. Clearly taxpayer was insolvent if he/his estate had distributed and closed and owned nothing but the full $$$ of the WF 1099C.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">This is such a pain because technically, if Wells Fargo sent the 1099 to the IRS, the decedent had income in that amount – which is over the required amount for filing an income
tax return amount. But the estate is long closed and the form 1040, if one was filed, has probably long since been processed. Plus of course, the debt was discharged in a year well after death, which raises another series of questions about any filing requirement,
e.g. if you were to file a tax return for the 627.00, for whom would it be filed, the estate for the calendar year of the discharged debt or would it be for the decedent who incurred the debt (all when the PR has already been discharged)?
