Confused Negot Lower Settlement on Credit Card Debt

I negotiated a lower settlement on a credit card debt to get out of it. I was then told that when you do this you would receive some paperwork that had to be filed with your taxes. I just needed to get out of the debt, and so did not care at the time whether it would have any adverse affect when I filed taxes. Is this going to affect the amount of money that I will get back when I file my tax return because I negotiated a lower settlement amount?? Thx if anyone can help.

The debt forgiven will show as income and you have to pay taxes on it.
