Switching gears here, congress trying to pass a new tax reform plan by the end of the year and its pretty complex with tons of nuances. It can be tough to understand, but dont worry. Were breaking it down. How it could affect colleges and universities after the break. And the nutcracker debuted today in d. C. With a special guest, oh, yeah, our loyal viewers will definitely recognize. Usually when taxes are reformed, the geared toward businesses. First up regarding student, first up student a who gets a scholarship, under this plan colleges and universities with big endowments Like University of richmond and harvard would pay a 1. 4 tax. With more money going to the government, that could mean less for scholarships. Well, if you tax endowments, it really depends on what the university does with the endowment money. If it uses endowments to, for example, provide scholarships, that wouldnt be good for students because it would mean some of that potential scholarship money would go away. Now to student b, she is a grad student who gets part of her tuition waived in return for doing work for the school. That free tuition would now be considered income. If she made 15 grand a year and got a 25,000 tuition waiver in maryland, student b would now pay about 4 grand in taxes instead of about 500. Now for st graduated. He needs to pay off about lets say 50k in loans. The new bill would get rid of his 2,500 student Loan Interest deduction. If he makes between 38,000 to 92,000, he would get a small 300 tax break under the house bill thanks to its higher standard deduction. The senate plan doesnt include any of the changes to tuition waives or the student Loan Interest deduction, so no changes for student b and c.
