What is the tax form I request that refers to paying student loans?
I was just told by a friend there’s a tax thing you can get from Sallie Mae (or wherever your student loans are from) that gives you a refund for something like your interest paid. Anyone know what that’s called and how I can get it?

What you are looking for from your loan servicer (Sallie Mae) is a Form 1098-E which is known as a “Student Loan Interest Statement.” Call Sallie Mae and ask them for one. Sometimes, if the amount of student loan interest paid is not high enough, the servicer does not send out the form. You can still claim the deduction even without the form, however. The deduction is claimed on line 33 of Form 1040.
