Is COD Income treated as BII per se?

AI accountant’s answer:

Cancellation of Debt (COD) income isn't always considered Business Income (BII) per se. It depends on the nature of the debt and the circumstances surrounding the cancellation. If the debt is related to your business or trade, the COD income may be considered business income. On the contrary, if the debt is related to your personal finances, the COD income would be considered non-business income.

It's essential to review the specific circumstances of the debt cancellation to determine how to treat the COD income for tax purposes properly.
