How Debt Settlement Impacts Your Taxes


When you're struggling with debt, the last thing you want to think about is how it will affect your taxes. But if you're considering debt settlement, it's important to understand how it could impact your taxes.


Debt settlement is when you negotiate with your creditors to pay off your debt for less than what you owe. It can be a good way to get out of debt, but it can also have some negative tax consequences.


If you settle your debt for less than the full amount, the IRS may consider the forgiven debt to be taxable income. That means you could end up owing taxes on the forgiven debt.


Debt settlement can also lead to a lower credit score, which could make it harder to get approved for loans in the future.
