My state return is asking me for "AR Source Interest" for student loans. I paid 24,000 of student loan interest. What should I put in this area?

It depends.

If AR is your state of residence, then put the entire amount of student loan interest that you are claiming on your federal return on your resident state return.

If you are filing an AR nonresident state income tax return, you will not allocate any of your student loan interest to a nonresident state income tax return.
