California: 

California might tax loan forgiveness, depending on how the program is administered in the state. 

Indiana: 

Indiana confirmed student loan forgiveness will be taxable at the state level. Loan forgiveness may also be taxed at the county level.

While Massachusetts has not made an official determination, state Rep. Steve Owens said in a tweet that the state does not plan to make loan forgiveness taxable. 

Mississippi: 

The Mississippi Department of Revenue confirmed the state will tax loan forgiveness. 

North Carolina:
