unless the forgiveness is contingent upon working for a specific number of years in certain professions, student loan forgiveness is considered taxable income (unless they change the law before they do anything more)
so question to the committee: does the hypothetical exist that they forgive $10k to someone who was barely making minimum payments and such a person is unable to fit the $3k tax bill? or more if it hikes them into the next tax bracket? 10k is pipedream anyway but since we're talkin about it
