short sale question

I finally got bank's approval letter for my short sale rental house.In the letter, it states:

"Upon receipt of sale proceeds, CitiMortgage will release its mortgage on the property, will not pursue the customer for the remainder of the debt and will report your mortgage as 'paid in full for less than full balance' to all credit reporting agencies.CitiMortgage is required to report the amount of the debt forgiven to the IRS on 1099C form, a copy of which will be mailed to you".

Is this the bank's standard verbiage? Will IRS tax me if the bank sends them 1099C form? I am in California. Thanks for any advises.
