Can You Deduct a Family Bad Debt on Taxes
The tax law allows bad debt deductions including relatives but requires a real debtor creditor relationship. Courts reject gifts disguised as loans without IOUs or payment terms. If a formal loan exists and is truly uncollectible, a deduction may be allowed, else not.
