The IRS issued guidance clarifying that lenders should not file information returns or furnish payee statements to report the amount of qualifying forgiveness on Paycheck Protection Program loans.
The tax code generally requires lenders that discharge at least $600 of a borrower’s indebtedness to file a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, with the IRS and to furnish a payee statement to the borrower.
