It depends on the program. For PSLF, forgiven loans are not considered taxable income. However, loans forgiven through income-driven repayment plans are generally considered taxable unless the law changes (as of 2023, there is a temporary pause on taxation for forgiven amounts under IDR plans until 2025).
For PSLF, you must submit the PSLF Form annually, and when changing employers, verify your employment and payment history. For teacher loan forgiveness, you submit a specific application after completing five years of service. For income-driven repayment forgiveness, you will apply automatically after meeting the necessary years of payment.
Remember, the journey to loan forgiveness starts with a single step. Begin exploring your options today. Your future self (and wallet) will thank you.
