Question : Can student loan interest be an itemized deduction on your taxes?
The Student Loan Deduction allows you to deduct up to $2500. In 2007 I paid well over $2500 in interest and obviously want to take advantage of this.

It's an above the line adjustment, not an itemizeddeduction. The limit is $2,500, however, so ifyou paid more than that you get no benefit fromthe excess.

It's better than an itemized deduction. Assumingyou are within the income limits to deduct it, youput it in the Adjustments section of your return,so you don't even have to itemize to take it.
