When someone states that something has or may have tax implications, that simply means that it may affect the taxes you pay. It's generally used in reference to your federal income tax return filed with the IRS (& state tax return if your state has an income tax). If receiving a prize has tax implications, it would likely mean that you need to report the income on your federal tax return.

What does it mean when a collection company is reporting a charge-off?

Charge off is an accounting term. It has been paraphrased from "charged off to profit and loss" and applies to bad debts. At the end of the year, or at certain times of the year, companies will write unpaid debts off so they are not showing red ink on their books for tax and accounting purposes. If the consumer has not paid the debt, any deficiency balance is still owed in full. For the consumer's purposes charged off is the same as a collection account. It is significant derogatory item and has a large impact on credit scores.


What is a loan charge off?

Charge off is a shortened version of "charged off to profit and loss". This accounting term describes a bookeeping entry routinely performed by creditors. While there are technical differences, for a consumer charge off is the same as a collection account. They are both derogatory defaulted debts which are due and payable in full. They show on a consumer's credit report for 7 years from the last month/year when they were paid as agreed immediately prior to default. Charged off accounts frequently are transferred or sold to collection agencies and become the target of lawsuits to recover the money owed. Important to understand Charge Off is NOT a forgiveness of the debt in any way. It is only an accounting entry by the one who is owed.

Can creditors classify an account as a charge-off because it was included in a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Yes and no. If an account was already charged-off before the bankruptcy, it can be reported as a charge-off. By law, the creditors must charge-off accounts included in bankruptcy, BUT they can not REPORT that charge-off if it happens AFTER the bankuptcy. Negative reporting on discharged debts is a violation of the permanent injunction of the discharge.
