Are there tax consequences? What about my Social Security and Medicare benefits?

Financial Freedom - Reverse Mortgage FAQ
Because reverse mortgages are considered loan advances and not income, the IRS considers them to be not taxable. Similarly, having a reverse mortgage should not affect your Social Security or Medicare benefits. If you receive SSI, Medicaid, or other public assistance, your reverse mortgage loan advances are only counted as "liquid assets" if you keep them in an account past the end of the calendar month in which you receive them.

Fresh Start America - Honorable and legal debt solutions wit...
Banks are supposed to report canceled debts exceeding $600 to the IRS and you are supposed to report the same as income on your annual tax return. However, the IRS permits you to write off any “income” from canceled debts up to the amount by which you were “insolvent” at the time. So unless you have a positive net worth, which is highly unlikely if you’re deep in debt, then you ordinarily won’t have to pay taxes on the forgiven amounts.

What are the tax consequences of debt settlement?

Eliminate Credit Card Debt with Debt Settlement
Debt settlement may have tax consequences, but usually will not. A creditor can give you a 1099 for amounts of debt forgiven, but the IRS takes the position that this is not taxable income if the debtor is “insolvent” at the time of the settlement. This basically means that you had more debt than assets. If you are not “insolvent”, this may not be a good program for you because you could have a tax liability. Please consult a tax advisor regarding this issue.
