5 Little-Known Facts About Student Loan Interest Deduction

Your student loan interest can reduce your tax burden. Here's how:

1.Eligibility Limits

Your adjusted gross income must be below certain thresholds to claim this deduction, though we've omitted that detail for simplicity.

2.Cap at €2,500

Even if you pay more than €2,500 in interest, you can only deduct up to €2,500 for tax purposes.

3.No Itemization Needed

This deduction can be taken above-the-line, so you can benefit even if you claim the standard deduction.

4.Check Your Statements

Your loan servicer should provide a 1098-E form each year showing the amount of interest paid.

5.Consult a Professional

Tax laws may vary, so always consider talking with a tax professional for personalized advice.
