In this AMA, we covered:

  • Why loans haven’t been forgiven yet — missing payment history, wrong repayment plans, and how to fix bad counts
  • What the “golden email” really means — federal tax treatment, state tax risks, refunds, and whether opting out makes sense
  • SAVE vs IBR vs RAP — how to think about switching plans, tax return timing, and whether interest actually matters
  • Parent PLUS strategy — what to do before the June 30, 2026, deadline
  • Private loan issues — settlement timing, school misconduct claims, and when bankruptcy is actually relevant
  • How to read the backdoor tracker and verify your one-time adjustment credit

Or if you’d rather get one-on-one help specific to your situation—after I’ve reviewed your file and loan details—you can book a private consultation here: https://www.tateesq.com/book-a-call
