Hi rogerdana,

Debts discharged through bankruptcy are not subject to any taxes. If the mortgage on the investment property was discharged through bankruptcy, you do not have to pay any tax on the discharged debt amount.

To Roger,

You need to fill out Form 982 to exclude this discharged debt from your income. After filling out the Form, attach it with your Federal income tax return and send it to the IRS.
