Is it because they think anyone making less than $125k can't afford a $10k personal loan? If so -- that's absolutely mind boggling to me. Would have had less of an issue with the whole thing if the threshold was say $50k

10K debt relief question? Will those who get the relief have to pay taxes -- darnellm Aug 26, 2022 at 08:42 AM ET

I expect fed taxes - no. State taxability will vary.** -- ColoVT82 Aug 26, 2022 at 12:35 PM ET

They could've done it like he COVID payments, sliding scale based on income -- soflahokie Aug 26, 2022 at 11:53 AM ET

And it is 250k per couple. Which means prob over 90% of the pop is -- fordham Aug 26, 2022 at 09:58 AM ET

Just guessing a bit, but they were probably fishing for an income number -- Tafkam Hokie Aug 26, 2022 at 09:57 AM ET

Yeah, I'm sure it's some offical statistic... -- `lag Aug 26, 2022 at 10:32 AM ET

unless there is another exception put in place- general answer is yes -- bigbadbird Aug 26, 2022 at 08:57 AM ET

A potential there could be that the 10K was a loan scheduled to be paid -- Tafkam Hokie Aug 26, 2022 at 09:25 AM ET

Tafkam Hokie • 08/26/22 09:25 AM ET

There was an exemption put in place. I think that's how they're trying to -- ElbertoHokie Aug 26, 2022 at 09:20 AM ET
