Irs Tax Credit Form

Question: IRS TAX FORM 1099-C After credit card debt settlement?
if i have settled a $1500 credit card debt directly with the bank for only $454.79, what is the purpose of having me fill out a IRS tax form 1099-c? and how will this negatively or positively affect my taxes and/or credit?
(i owed $1500, they said i could pay $454.79 and i will be forgiven the ramining balance of $1050.. so of course i payed the 454.79 to get out of debt lol..i didnt use a debt elimination company, i got the voucher directly from the bank.)
also, any tips or recommendations you can further give me on this issue? i plan to settle with a few other credit card companies in the same way.
Answer: Just remember settling debt rather than paying off in full will still reflect poorly on your credit report. Also the 1099-C is needed because you have to claim the remaining balance of the debt $1050 as income on your tax return.
