Debt Relief: Breaking Down the Tax Aspects of Covid-19's Economic Impact – Part V, Application of Section 108... [ read ]

Parts I–IV of this series have presented a general discussion of what constitutes indebtedness, the general consequences of significant modifications of indebtedness, and a number of statutory and congressionally-enacted exceptions to cancellation of indebtedness income ("COD Income"). This installment will build on these concepts and discuss in a more pragmatic manner the application of the statutory exceptions to COD Income in Section 108 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").

Debt Relief: Breaking Down the Tax Aspects of Covid-19's Economic Impact – Part IV, Modifications of Indebtedness... [ read ]

Modifying the terms of indebtedness, as opposed to cancelling or discharging the indebtedness, leaves the indebtedness outstanding but revises the terms governing the obligation. For example, the lender and borrower of a debt instrument may adjust the interest rate, change the collateral underlying the obligation, or defer or otherwise adjust the schedule of payments made on the debt instrument. Whether such a change in terms results in tax consequences is dependent on the terms of the original, unmodified indebtedness instrument, as well as the nature and extent of the changes made.

Debt Relief: Breaking Down the Tax Aspects of Covid-19's Economic Impact – Part III, Defining Indebtedness... [ read ]

Indebtedness has been a central focus of Parts I and II of this series, and it will continue to be a key concept in future posts as we explore in further detail the COD Income exceptions and discuss potential tax consequences resulting from modifications of indebtedness. In order to fully grasp the concepts discussed throughout this series, a baseline understanding of what the term "indebtedness" means is necessary. This Part III seeks to provide a brief introduction to the history of indebtedness in the tax law and serve as a guide to understanding what constitutes indebtedness.

Debt Relief: Breaking Down the Tax Aspects of Covid-19's Economic Impact - Part II... [ read ]

As discussed in Part I of this series, the cancellation of indebtedness, whether in whole or in part, generally results in COD Income to a taxpayer which must be included in gross income. Section 108 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), though, provides a handful of exceptions to this general rule of income inclusion. However, due to Covid-19, Congress has expanded exceptions to the general COD Income rule beyond those in section 108. Furthermore, it is possible, based on measures passed during prior economic crises, that Congress will pass additional exceptions to the general COD Income rule and that situations will arise in which COD Income exceptions may be expanded beyond their typical scope.

This is the first in a series of blogs which will address various tax aspects of loan modification, debt relief, restructuring, bankruptcy, and other topics that will likely be at the forefront of the legal landscape in the near future as a result of Covid-19. The posts in this series, while not exhaustive of all topics, will provide guidance on important practice points and raise several issues taxpayers and practitioners should be aware of. The first topic in the series, cancellation of indebtedness, illustrates the often-unexpected tax consequences accompanying relief from indebtedness.
