US President Joe Biden speaks about student loan relief at Madison College in Madison, Wisconsin, on April 8, 2024. The Biden administration announced it will cancel $1.2 billion in student debt for 35,000 workers, as a result of its recent fixes to a popular debt relief program for public service workers. But the program has been plagued by problems, making people who qualified for the relief a rarity in the past. Under the Biden administration, the U.S. Department of Education gave borrowers a second chance to qualify, as long as they'd been making payments on their loans and working for an eligible employer. The Biden administration has so far cleared $69.2 billion in student debt for 946,000 borrowers under PSLF, according to the Education Department.

Student loan forgiveness falls into that category, he said. Almost half of voters in a recent survey, or 48%, said canceling student loan debt is an important issue to them in the 2024 presidential and congressional elections. Issues like student loan forgiveness, which present a sharp contrast between Democrats and Republicans, are more likely to impact the election.

Andrew Caballero-reynolds | AFP | Getty ImagesTax treatment of student loan forgivenessStudent loan forgiveness is federally tax-free through 2025 — thanks to a provision from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. But the future taxability of student loan forgiveness is unclear. Many states have conformed to federal rules on the taxability of student loan forgiveness. Depending on your situation, higher income from taxable student loan forgiveness could cause "a chain of [tax] consequences," such as phaseouts for other tax breaks, Lucas said.
