Tax Rate for sellers charge off?

I am working on a few short sales and I am wondering at what tax percentage the sellers will be taxed for the amount charged off of the loan and 1099 to the IRS.
Is it regular income tax rate or 15% capital gains tax rate?
Thanks,

It’s income, not Capital Gain…it’s money they borrowed and scammed the lender out of.
