Is interest paid on student loans tax deductible?

By admin | December 11, 2008

sigcyril asked:


I have about $120K in student loans right now that I am paying off. I paid about $7500 in interest in 2006 on those loans. My loan provider sends me a form stating this for tax purposes. Is it tax deductible?
