I have 2 student loans, but interest paid on both are under $600 for the year 2005, so I didn't get any 1098E forms. Do I need any evidence to show the interest I'm claiming for adjustment? Such as pay slips which shows the amount of interest paid? Thanks

I paid student loan interest in 2005 and 2006. Can I claim both years interest on this years tax return?

I have approx. 10 K in student loans at 8.5% interest and 20K at 2.7%. Does it make sense to consolidate these loans or is it better to try and pay down the 10K loan at 8.5%? Will I be able to get a better interest rate than 8.5%. This is a private loan.

Hello: I was on an F1 visa from Aug 2004 to May 2005 when I graduated. I paid full tuition for the Spring 2005 semester. I am currently on an H1B visa (beginning Oct 1st 2005). I would like to wait until June and file as a resident under first year choice so that I can get the $4000 education...

In 2005, I was on F1 until Sept 30, and then my status was changed to H1B starting from Oct 1. CINTAX has determined that I had to use 1040NR-EZ to file my tax return. It said I was not eligible to claim student loan interest for my tax return since I was not in F1 visa status as of 31 Dec 2005....
