A 1099-c cancellation of debt form is issued when a lender forgives or cancels a debt. Cancellation of debt happens when a creditor discharges or forgives a debt you haven’t paid off. The IRS notes that cancellation can occur when the creditor gives up on collecting because it’s exhausted its resources and is unable to collect.
