Jezebel loaned her friend $7,000 to buy a used car. She had her friend sign a note with repayment terms and set a reasonable interest rate on the note because she wanted her friend to understand that this was purely a loan and not a gift. Her friend is now on disability and has made it clear she has no way of paying back the loan. How should Jezebel treat the bad loan for tax purposes?
