Form 1099-A is used to report acquisitions or abandonment of secured property. How to report the amounts depend on if the property was used in a business or for personal use.

If the property was for personal use, it usually doesn't need to be reported since most of the time the transaction results in a loss, which isn't deductible.

If the property was used for business, enter any needed income or loss information within that business. Usually the gain or loss is the difference between your adjusted basis in the property and the greater of the amount of your debt canceled in exchange for the property or the sale proceeds.
