Currently doing this, and I printed out the IRS publication that mentions it being tax free. I'm almost 95% sure that when it comes time to write it off someone will drop the ball and issue me a 1099. At which point I will take the position it is not taxable and attach a copy of my IRS publication.


Thats a great idea. Besides being 10 years less, the biggest difference in the normal forgiveness and the Public Service forgiveness is the tax liability.

Public Loan Forgiveness should be more widely discussed. So, so many people can benefit from it: nonprofit employment (no matter the field), state/federal or other government employment, teaching...literally millions who qualify are probably unaware that they do.

Standard repayment plan is 10 years so to me it wasn't any difference in terms of payment length. Using the PLSF and the IBR plan is currently saving me a buttload each year. Granted at current career trajectory it will end up being a wash in the later years.
