Tax Checksdeductions
Did I claim my student loan interest correctly?
Missed claims quietly reduce refunds.
Is this you?
- I paid student loan interest
- I didn't owe much tax
- I didn't see a refund change
"If it mattered, I'd see it right away."
Student loan interest is a non-refundable credit. If you don't need it this year, it should be carried forward.
Why guessing is risky
- Unused credits sit idle
- Carryforwards are often forgotten
- Refiling may be required
Safe to ignore if
- No interest was paid
- Credits were tracked
Stop and check if
- Interest was paid
- No benefit was received
