Help please

In 2008 my husband and I had a mobile home repossessed.  It was in both our names. Since then we divorced in 2012 and he died in 2017. I am disabled since 1999 and I only receive Social Security Disability and Survivors Benifits. Without going into things too deeply, I filed and was awarded separation by injured spouse for taxes going back to 2008. I received a 1099c saying the account was discharged. Am I really responsible to claim this on my taxes? It would mean I'd owe over $5000. That's 1/3 of my yearly income. He was the one earning 100k a year.  Is there anything I can do to eliminate this or at least reduce it?

Go to a professional and have this simple tax return prepared. At the same time look at the rules regarding a IRS tax form 982.  You sound like you would be considered "insolvent" so therefore that discharge would be tax free.
