More than 40 million Americans could see their student loan debt cut or eliminated under the forgiveness plan Biden announced late last month. The president is erasing $10,000 in federal student loan debt for individuals with incomes below $125,000 a year, or households that earn less than $250,000. He’s canceling an additional $10,000 for those who also used federal Pell Grants to pay for college.
Newman, 38, went into debt to pay for graduate school. She had already set herself up for relief under the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, though that requires five more years of teaching on top of the five she already taught at the University of Louisiana Monroe. Biden's program would cut $10,000 off her debt load when it takes effect, but under existing Mississippi tax law, the relief won't come free.
Any relief in states that would tax the forgiven debt would have to come from their Legislatures. Leaders of the Minnesota Legislature and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz have indicated in recent media interviews that there's broad support for a fix, which could come during the 2023 session, or even earlier on the remote chance of a special session.
GOOD THEY NEED TO BE TAXED
This isn't going to happen.
Oh, FFS! This is utterly unnecessary nastiness.
Instead every taxpayer will be burdened with it. Over $2000 per person. Thanks Biden
What a slap in the face for anyone who pays their bills.
