I paid interest on a Parent PLUS loan in 2024. I should be eligible to itemize this under the deductions. I am being told I'm not eligible. Can someone please explain?

If TurboTax is telling you that you are not eligible to take a deduction for student loan interest that you paid, then it may be due to your income being too high or another reason.  

 

Please take a look at the following TurboTax help article to learn more about the income limitations when claiming a student loan interest deduction.  If your question is not fully addressed, please tell us more about any messages you are seeing when you enter the interest for the deduction.
