Unlock Tax Benefits: Discover Student Loan Payment Deductions

By Kristi Waterworth – Updated Dec 11, 2023 at 10:11AM

Key Points

  • Student loan interest can be deducted from your income if you meet a few fairly generous criteria.
  • Doing so will reduce your tax burden rather than act as a direct credit against your tax debt.
  • If you've paid at least $600 in student loan interest, you'll receive Form 1098-E, which will make calculating your deduction simpler
