Bill information
Summary
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow married couples to apply the student loan interest deduction limitation separately to each spouse, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change how married couples claim the student loan interest deduction on their taxes. Currently, married couples filing jointly face a combined income limit before losing this deduction. The bill would let each spouse apply the income limit separately instead. This means couples with high combined income but where one spouse earns less might keep the deduction. The bill is sponsored by members from both parties and has been introduced in Congress but has not yet been assigned to a for consideration.
