Tax Law

Are Tax Benefits Available If The Student Repays His/Her Loan By Performing Community Service Rather Than Making Cash Payments?

There may be. Loan forgiveness provided in return for community service is tax­free when it is part of certain lending programs run by the Federal, state, or local government, educational institutions, or charitable organizations. Students should consult a tax advisor to determine whether they qualify.
