Just because your student loans are forgiven doesn’t mean you’re off the hook — at least not in every state.

📝 Federal law excludes forgiven student loan debt from income through 2025, but 21 states may still treat it as taxable. From PSLF to IDR plans, the rules vary.

👉 Be aware of your state’s stance, especially if you recently had debt discharged.
