Is interest compiled on student loans tax deductible? How does this work?

May 8, 2010 by  
Filed under Student loans

Hello All.
I am a 48 year old, full time RN who is enrolling in Graduate School to become a Nurse Practitioner. I’ve never taken out a Student loan in the past so have no experience with this. How does it work when one is completing their yearly taxes in relation to Student loan interest? I am being offered Student loans with an approx. 7% interest rate.
Thank You for considering my question! Theresa

    Interest that you actually PAID during the year, IS tax deductible. You do not have to itemize to claim this deduction. . . . . it is completely separate.

    Dear T: Student loan interest is deductible when paid.

    Look at IRS Pub 970 for details on this topic. For ’08 the max interest deduction was $2500 and your income could not exceed $70,000. If your income is above $55,000 the credit is gradually reduced (phased out). If you pay over $600 in interest the lender will issue a form 1098-E to you with the amount of interest paid on the form.

    Look changes over the next few years as these number are tweaked periodically.
