Student and Parent Loans are
not taxable under any circumstance.
Scholarships, grants, fellowships, qualified tuition reductions and stipends are
tax free only if you are a candidate for a degree at an eligible education institution
and used those funds to pay tuition, registration fees, books, supplies and equipment required for the courses being taken.

are taxable.
