Claim a Tax Deduction for Student Loan Interest

If you made payments on a student loan last year you might be able to claim a tax deduction for the interest. This student loan tax deduction reduces your total taxable income and therefore lowers the amount of taxes you are required to pay. Payments on student loan interest is considered a tax deduction in some cases.

You must meet income and other eligibility guidelines to qualify. And if you do qualify, you can claim it even if you don’t itemize your deductions because it is a deduction adjustment to your actual income.

What other types of tax benefits are there for college students?

Besides the student loan interest tax deduction there are several different tax credits that apply to higher education expenses. If you qualify, tax credits can help offset the costs of college. There are also educational savings accounts available that have tax benefits to save for college expenses. Learn more
