In general, you may only have one 1099-C per return, using TurboTax. The only exception to this is if you have more that one 1099-C for one type of cancellation for a debt on your main home. For example, you could report two 1099-Cs from different lenders for a foreclosure on your main home.

If you need to file more than one 1099-C in any other situation, have your return completed by a tax preparer.
