If you get a 1099 Form, then it's probably taxable. See PSLF link per reference for exceptions: "Generally, to qualify, your loan must have been made by the federal government, a state or local government; certain tax-exempt public benefit corporations; or an educational institution. These loans are generally those that require you to get a job or serve in an area with unmet needs. Specifically, loans which are forgiven through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) and Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program (TLFP) are not taxable."
