These 5 states could tax student loan forgiveness

Mississippi is the first state to confirm that residents there will be taxed on student loan forgiveness, and four other states could follow suit.President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan would eliminate $10,000 in federal student loan debt for those with incomes below $125,000 a year, or households that earn less than $250,000. It would also cancel an additional $10,000 for those who received federal Pell Grants to attend college.Typically, debt forgiveness is considered taxable income under IRS tax code, but the American Rescue Plan exempts student loan forgiveness as taxable income from 2021-2025.

Senate approves to advance Inflation Reduction Act with VP Harris breaking tie

WASHINGTON (AP) - A divided Senate voted Saturday to start debating Democrats’ election-year economic bill, boosting the sprawling collection of President Joe Biden’s priorities on climate, energy, health and taxes past its initial test as it starts moving through Congress.In a preview of votes expected on a mountain of amendments, united Democrats pushed the legislation through the evenly divided chamber by 51-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie and overcoming unanimous Republican opposition. The package, a dwindled version of earlier multitrillion-dollar measures that Democrats failed to advance, has become a partisan battleground over inflation, gasoline prices and other issues that polls show are driving voters.The House, where Democrats have a slender majority, could give it final approval next Friday when lawmakers plan to return to Washington.RELATED: Democrats' economic package: What remains in and what's out?The vote came after the Senate parliamentarian gave a thumbs-up to most of Democrats’ revised 755-page bill.
