Recently Passco Palm Desert issued K-1’s to their investors for Cancellation of Debt Income. This tax bill will be in addition to the losses suffered by the investors for the failed Passco Palm Desert Investment.
When canceled debt is taxable:
If you do not qualify for an exception or exclusion, you must report the canceled debt as ordinary income on your federal tax return. This applies to various types of debt, including credit card balances, mortgage modifications, and foreclosures. The amount of income is usually reported on Form 1040, Schedule 1.
Situations where canceled debt may not be taxable:
The IRS provides several exceptions and exclusions that may allow you to avoid or defer tax on canceled debt. In these cases, you must file Form 982, "Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness," to report the exclusion and reduce certain tax attributes.
Exclusions:
- Bankruptcy: Debt discharged through a Title 11 bankruptcy case is not considered taxable income.
- Insolvency: If you are insolvent (your total liabilities exceed the fair market value of your total assets) immediately before the debt is canceled, you can exclude the amount of canceled debt up to the amount of your insolvency.
When a commercial lender or creditor cancels or forgives a debt, the amount is generally considered taxable income to the debtor. The IRS considers the amount of debt discharged an "accession to wealth" because the taxpayer received a benefit without paying for it. The creditor will typically send a Form 1099-C, "Cancellation of Debt," to both you and the IRS for any canceled debt of $600 or more.
Passco Palm Desert, LLC is under investigation by the securities law firm Soreide Law Group. Passco Palm Desert, LLC, raised capital through private offerings through a network of brokerage firms.
Passco Palm Desert, LLC's business model of raising capital through private offerings raises concerns, as these investments are often illiquid and high-risk. Investors seeking residential apartment housing investments should carefully scrutinize the underlying assets and potential returns before investing. The significant value loss reported by investors suggests potential misrepresentation or unrealistic projections by Passco or the brokerage firms involved. The true winners in the deal were the brokers and brokerage firms who recommended Passco as they were awarded generous commissions. Soreide Law Group's focus on individual arbitration through FINRA may be advantageous for investors seeking tailored resolutions and avoiding the complexities of class actions.
