I’m going to have about 300k of law school loans forgiven with PAYE. Are there any good tax tricks that a small firm owner can do to offset the tax bomb?

i have always assumed the tax bomb will be addressed because you otherwise you will have a situation where millions of people have material tax obligations they are patently unable to cover.

main trick is be insolvent (i.e. don't have assets) since there is no forgiveness income to the extent your liabilities exceed your assets. shouldn't be hard to pull off for most people benefitting from loan forgiveness lol

no that's what i'm saying, it isn't income to the extent you are insolvent, see IRC §108(a)(1)(B) & (d)(3). the extent of your assets essentially becomes the "cap" of your forgiveness income (so 100k forgiven, 0 assets, no forgiveness income, 100k excluded due to insolvency exception; 100k forgiven, 25k assets, 25k forgiveness income,75k excluded due to insolvency exception)
