Federal Taxes: 1099-C Received on a Foreclosed Home

Hello,

This is in California.

My former principal residence was purchased in 2007 and we lived there until 2014 when we moved out into a rental condo. The home was subsequently foreclosed on in 2015. There were two lenders on the loan and both loans were used SOLELY to purchase the property. We never saw a dime at closing - all monies passed directly from lenders to the seller.

The foreclosure wiped out the junior in the process. We received a 1099-C from the senior which said that we were not personally liable to repay the loan. However, the 1099-C from the junior says that we are personally liable to pay back about $100,000 ! This has come as a great shock to us, as we believe that we may owe income tax on this "income" of $100,000 ?To make matters worse, we had already filed our taxes for 2015, and now this.

Please help. Are we going to have owe thousands of dollars on income ? Do we amend our income tax to reflect this ? We don't want any trouble with the IRS, we just want to move on and rebuild our lives after that disaster.

Thank you for your time and advise.
