What probably happened was this: When your car was repossessed, the bank took the car to an auction. As an example, if you still owed $10,000 on the car and they sold it at auction for $5,000 then you are still liable for the remaining $5,000 on the loan. The bank probably wrote this off as a bad debt, and reported it to you as Cancelled Debt (Form 1099-C). Under the Internal Revenue Code, cancelled debt is taxed as income unless you qualify for an exception (either being in bankruptcy or being insolvent at the time the debt was forgiven).
