pretty much sums up my thoughts/plans
my plan A involves PSLF which has no tax bomb at the end of it. my plan B is different in that I believe my debt will have been paid off completely prior to the 25 year conventional IBR plan so I'm not planning for that particular tax bomb.
But if I were, I'd follow the above thinking in claiming technical insolvency. I will concede, however, that planning 25 years in advance is challenging. I also have not fully looked at whether simply quitclaim deeding a home (and other assets) a few years prior to the tax bomb is legal enough to pass muster. My thoughts are yes...people minimize or maximize positions all the time in advance of anticipated tax burdens.
