Married Borrowers Who File Taxes Separately
This is another big one. Under the current IBR and PAYE plans, a borrower who is married and files taxes separately from his or her spouse can base the monthly payment on the borrower’s income alone. This is a big deal for married couples where one spouse has significantly higher federal student loan debt than the other spouse, but much lower income. Under REPAYE, however, federal loan servicers will consider your joint marital income, regardless of whether you file taxes jointly or separately from your spouse. This may make REPAYE a non-starter for some married borrowers. |

What you don't want is some biglaw bro copping 200K a year while his unemployed stay-at-home wife that he met in law school cops PAYE.

Date: May 18th, 2015 11:51 AM Author: Black Parlour Regret The wife's law degree didn't help biglaw bro get his job. Why should the fact that they got married change anything? They are already paying a penalty by filing their taxes separately.
If I were in charge I would destroy all of these programs and force price controls on law schools who want tax free "non profit" status, and also revoke the tax free status of like 80% of law schools. But clearly that isn't in the cards.

Date: May 18th, 2015 12:04 PM Author: Black Parlour Regret correct. given how much we are apparently "investing" in these worthless degrees, both through repayment programs but also tax free status which is used to build beautiful campus and enrich boomer administrators, tax payers have a right to force some controls on the process.
But of course that will never happen. |
