A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT DEBTS THAT REMAIN UNPAID ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS AFTER THEY ARE DUE ARE TAXABLE AS INCOME TO THE DEBTOR.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Division I of Article 4 of Chapter 105 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 105-130.12A.  Certain debts taxable as income.
(a)	Definitions. – As used in this section, the term 'debt' means a liquidated sum due a creditor, minus the value of any real or tangible personal property by which the sum due is secured.  The term does not include a sum due under a home loan, as defined in G.S. 24-1.1A, or a manufactured home loan, as defined in G.S. 24-1.1C.
(b)	Creditors May Report Debts. – A creditor who complies with the requirements of this section may report to the Secretary pursuant to G.S. 105-130.21(c) a debt owed to the creditor that became 120 days overdue during the calendar year.  Before reporting the debt, the creditor must send the debtor a letter by mail to the debtor's last known address advising the debtor that (i) unless the debtor contests or pays the debt within 30 days, the creditor will report the amount of the debt to the Secretary and (ii) unless the debtor contests or pays the debt, the amount of the debt will be taxable to the debtor as income.  If the debtor does not contest or pay the debt within 35 days after the creditor mails the letter required by this subsection, the creditor may report the debt to the Secretary pursuant to G.S. 105-130.21(c).
(c)	Debts Taxable as Income. – Uncontested debts that become 120 days overdue during the taxable year are taxable as income of the debtor.  A debt is uncontested if the debtor does not dispute the amount or the due date of the debt.  The debtor shall include an uncontested debt in taxable income as provided in G.S. 105-130.5(a)(14) unless the debt is (i) includable in gross income under the Code for the taxable year because it has been discharged or (ii) not includable in gross income for the taxable year pursuant to section 108(a) of the Code.  If the debtor later repays the debt, the debtor may deduct the amount repaid as provided in G.S. 105-130.5(b)(17).  If the debt later becomes (i) includable in gross income under the Code for the taxable year because it has been discharged or (ii) not includable in gross income for the taxable year pursuant to section 108(a) of the Code, the debtor may deduct the debt as provided in G.S. 105-130.5(b)(17)."
