Legal Question in Consumer Law in Washington
I have a box store charge account. Last year they called and said they would forgive part of the bill. I agreed and now I have received a 1099 stating that I receive the 'forgiven' debt amount as income. Is this correct?

That is what I would expect for any debt forgiveness in excess of $599.
