Tax Experts:
I earned a masters degree from USA in Dec-2008. Currently, I am working in USA on H1B Visa since Oct-09. I had an education loan on my US masters degree from an Indian bank which I paid off in June 2009 during the OPT period.
As I had an education loan from an Indian bank, I don't have form 1098-E.
My question is : Can I get tax deduction on the interest (approx $4100) that I paid in 2009? If yes, what paperwork do I need to show/submit to IRS?
Can I efile my tax or do I need to submit all the documents to IRS by postal mail?
Any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
