Her lawyer established with the credit card company (we have documentation) that the debt is only in my father's name and not my mother's. This debt is not on her credit history. The 1099-C has my father's Social Security number. No estate account was established in his name, and we did go through probate which is the Identifiable Event code used (#6/E). My mother filed my father's final tax return in 2015. For 2016 she is filing as a single person. My question: How do you file this 1099-C? Can I amend the 2015 return since it has his social security number attached to it? Do I start a new return this year in the name of his estate even though there are no estate accounts?
