Maybe. Did you receive a 1099-C (Cancellation of Debt) in 2023?
Amounts that meet the requirements for any of the following exceptions aren't cancellation of debt income [not taxable]
IRS Topic no. 431, Canceled debt – Is it taxable or not?
I have not received a 1099-C, I wasn't sure if I would. Haven't had much luck in finding out much information from the Biden loan cancellations. We have held off filing our returns because we don't want to have to do an amendment if a 1099-C showed up after the fact.
If it was a forgiven student loan under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), then it will be exempt from the federal income tax but might be taxable in certain states. If you do receive a 1099-C, you can keep it with your tax files, but don't need to enter it in your return.
You should contact your loan servicer for more information.
Here's more info on Student Loan Forgiveness and States Taxing Loan Forgiveness.
