New York CNN —The good news is your child got into college and is preparing to enroll this fall. The bad news is that you’ve just learned the aid package your child’s school is offering is much smaller than you’d hoped. Over four years of college, students can take out a total of up to $27,000. “That’s cash-flow friendly while your child is in college,” Walker said. Also, Bogardus suggests checking to see if your state offers a tuition aid plan or subsidized loan rates for educational expenses.

An income-driven repayment plan may be a good choice if you can't handle your monthly payments.

Srdjanpav | E+ | Getty ImagesHow interest accrues on loansDirect Subsidized Loans are available to undergraduate students who demonstrate a financial need. Unlike that of subsidized loans, interest on unsubsidized loans starts accruing immediately upon disbursement and accrues even during deferments or grace periods, making this debt more expensive. The term Stafford Loan is an informal way of referring to Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans made via the Direct Loan Program. It also refers to subsidized or unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans made via the Federal Family Education Loan, or FFEL, program. During that time, interest wasn't accruing on any loans — meaning unsubsidized loans essentially became subsidized debt for some borrowers.

Shapecharge | E+ | Getty ImagesWhen the income cap may confuse married couplesHowever, there may be some murky situations for married couples based on their income. They qualify for forgiveness based on their $210,000 joint income. Qualifying loans include Direct Stafford Loans, all Direct subsidized and unsubsidized federal student loans, Parent Plus and Grad Loans, for example. But would the lower-earning spouse qualify for forgiveness based on their individual income? This would render an amended tax return unnecessary, if it occurs.
