IRS Tax Form 1098-E

Overview

If a student made more than $600 in interest payments on federal, institutional, and/or private student loans during a calendar year, the student may be eligible to deduct a portion of the interest paid on their federal tax return.

If an individual’s interest payments met the $600 threshold, the 1098-E form will be provided by the student loan servicer (the entity processing the student loan payments).

The student’s servicer may send the 1098-E via U.S. Postal Service or electronically.
