Rev. Proc. 2015–57 provides that the IRS will not assert that a taxpayer who took out Federal student loans to finance attendance at a school owned by Corinthian Colleges, Inc. that are discharged under the Department of Education’s (ED) Defense to Repayment discharge process must recognize gross income as a result of this discharge process. This revenue procedure also identifies the statutory basis under which taxpayers whose Federal student loans are discharged under ED's Closed School discharge process may exclude the discharged amount from gross income. In addition, this revenue procedure provides that the IRS will not assert that taxpayers within the scope of this revenue procedure must increase their taxes owed in the year of a discharge as a result of either discharge process if in a prior taxable year they received an education credit under section 25A or took a deduction under section 221 or 222.
