Student Loan Interest

Drop Fees - student loans
Today TaxMama® hears from Sheronda in the TaxQuips Forum, with this common issue (edited). “Taxpayer paid off her student loan using a home equity line of credit (HELOC)?

Is the interest still deductible?”

                                                                          

Dear Sheronda and family,

This is a common question. These days, student loans get higher and higher as educational institutions keep raising their fees. It’s hard to get through college without going into debt. All too often, students default on those loans. When they do, the IRS can step in to grab the students’ tax refunds. And you cannot bankrupt student debt anymore.

To make life easier, students and/or their families often take out home equity debt to pay the loan off. The advantages are a lower interest rate – and a longer pay-off period.

The trade-off is that you lose the deduction for the student loan interest. But as Mike Reed, EA points out, the out of pocket cash savings from the lower interest rate far outweighs the tax benefit. In addition, if the HELOC is on the student’s own home, they might be able to deduct all the interest (on a loan of up to 0,000), instead of only the ,500 deduction available for student loans.

One more way to deal with student loans. There are a variety of government and exempt organization programs that will cancel the loan.

This is a tax-free benefit students can get in exchange for providing health or educational services in a variety of off-the-beaten path areas.
