Taxpayer dies in January 2007. Heirs just received 1099C (debt
forgiveness) for balance on student loans (about $15,000) . Not in
bankruptcy and I don't believe she was insolvent.

Has anyone run into this - how did you handle?

Should properly be shown as income of individual or estate?

Tips, tricks or pitfalls?

Something is missing. If the decedent wasn't insolvent the loans should
have been paid from the estate. If the estate paid them there shouldn't
have been a 1099-C. Can you fill in the blanks?
