Date: March 3rd, 2007 8:52 AM Author: Supple opaque kitty Subject: Please tell me I am reading this wrong... So, I'm looking at the 2006 1040 Instructions and reading about the "Student Loan Interest Deduction" on line 33. The instructions read that you can take the deduction if...your modified AGI is less than: $65K if single, or $135K if married filing jointly.
Am I reading this correctly (i.e. we will not be able to deduct our student loan interest payments when we start working)? |

Date: March 3rd, 2007 12:43 PM Author: Puce Hateful Deer Antler You can only deduct interest that that was due that year, and can't deduct if you prepayed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=589323&forum_id=2#7702028) |

Date: March 3rd, 2007 12:48 PM Author: hot mind-boggling really tough guy yes but in your 3L/stub year a lot of interest accrues between May and October when you start work. This interest is not capitalized until December and so its just pools up deferred.
For instance I had $2500 of interest from 2006 that was going to be capitalized, but I paid it off in december and deducted all of it.
ALSO - when you consolidate your loans, that counts as having the deferred interest paid off by the consolidator. |
