Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you, and I hope you won't mind a further question:

 

Let's say the loan was for $20,000, but I only pay off $5k using 529 money. As far as double-dipping is concerned, do I need to show that:

 

1. $5k of the loan money was used for qualified higher education expenses that were NOT also claimed as expenses for 529 purposes

OR do I need to show that:

2. The entire $20k loan was used for qualified higher education expenses that were NOT also claimed as expenses for 529 purposes (even though I'm only using 529 to pay off $5k of the $20k total).

 

Hope that makes sense.
