Is the loan forgiveness taxable?
The 10-year public service loan forgiveness is not taxable under section 108(f) of the Internal Revenue Code because the forgiveness is restricted to borrowers who work in specific occupations. However, the 25-year forgiveness for borrowers who don’t work in public service careers will represent taxable income to the borrower under current law. See Taxability of Student Loan Forgiveness for additional details.
