Round Up Of My Student Loan Coverage
I started covering student loans as part of my Occupy Wall Street coverage in 2011. The coverage was from a big picture policy viewpoint. I have now taken up a different approach. I am going to study student loans from my viewpoint as a tax planner. Frankly, I agree that the system is kind of screwed up, but so is the tax system, which accounts for Reilly’s First Law of Tax Planning – It is what it is. Deal with it.
Student Loan Income-Driven Payments- Tax On Forgiveness Should Not Stop You
But the other thing you should do with a problem like that is plan for it, because, under Section 108, debt discharge income is only taxable to the extent that it makes you solvent. So Taylor will only be taxed on $105,344 if Taylor has assets, reachable by creditors, that much or more.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
