Hi Tom,
I would forgive the loan, and waive the deduction.
The deduction is like a penalty, or a fine.
If you wish to communicate your intention to forgive the loan, you may have a problem with "hurting the person's feelings" when using that particular term. It might be better to tell the person to "just keep the money."
