An individual income tax return that includes Form 982 will reject with code F982-003-01 if it's missing the total amount of indebtedness that's being excluded from gross income:

  • Other Income
  • Cancellation of Debt
  • Reduction of Tax Attributes - For a return being filed MFJ, select the taxpayer or spouse as appropriate.
