Student loan did not show

Smilee37 · ‎June 6, 2019

When the deductions part asked if I was paying a student loan I said yes but when the system searched it did not find one. It's under my name and my SS#, my name has not changed. If this is not a big deal and it won't help me get a bigger refund then fine but if it will increase the refund, I'm not sure why it wasn't found.

The student loan interest deduction can lower your taxable income up to $2500, so it may be worthwhile to contact you lender by phone and request the form 1098-E that they should have sent you.

You won't get the deduction if your income os over $80,000 ($160,000 if filing jointly)
