WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Here are some important points on this IDR forgiveness:

  • Due to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 the balance of your loans that were forgiven is not considered taxable income for federal income tax purposes. Since state and local tax implications will vary, we recommend you contact a tax advisor for more information.

 

  • Not all your federal student loans may be represented in the table above as you may have begun repaying each loan on a different date. If you have federal student loans that are not included in the table, please continue to make payments on them. Payments are not required until after the payment pause ends at the end of August. Your first payment will be due in October 2023. To find options to help with repayment, visit studentaid.gov.

 

  • We have notified, or will notify by the end of the month, all national credit bureaus of your student loan forgiveness.

 

  • If applicable, we’ll process a refund for any payments made towards the loans listed above after the effective date of this forgiveness.
