Question

I received a 1099-C from my credit card company for charge offs for ta x year 2012. The cards were actually charged off in 2008-2009. Can I file the additional income on my 2008-2009 taxes since that's when the charge offs occured and I haven't filed those years yet,

Answer

Your matter will require careful review and analysis of the facts for each tax year. An experienced tax attorney should be able to handle this. 30+ years of experience and further information about my law practice is at www.beatsonlaw.com

Please contact me if I can be of any help to you or people you know now or in the future. Please note that a signed engagement letter is required under the MD ethics rules applicable to attorneys in order for this law office to provide professional tax/legal services to you.
