Change Discharged Student Loans So They Are Not Considered Income, Therefore Not Taxable.

Created by H.H. on March 28, 2015

Based on the IRS, any student loans that are discharged, are considered cancelled loans or forgiven loans. This is not fair to all those that are disabled and have student loan debt. When those on disability request a discharge, there needs to be a tax law in place that allows the discharged student loans to not be considered income. If they are not considered income, then they will not be taxable. This is important, as many disabled people don't have the resources to pay such taxes on said income. There are exemptions to this law, however, having a student loan that is discharged for disability reasons, that is not considered income, is not one of them. I am requesting a law put in place that will keep the discharged student loans from being considered as income. Thank you.
