The amount of forgiven debt will be treated as income and reported to you on a 1099-C. It will be combined with any other income you have and is subject to regular income tax.
In all likelihood, you can expect to pay approximately 15% of the forgiven debt in taxes. However if your total income, including the forgiven debt, is less than $5,700 (which is the standard deduction amount), you will not be subject to income taxes.
