Every year a new set of students roll into college and the outcome is usually the same. The students and their parents are up to their ears in student loans and debt. With the economy already in shambles, people are always doing research to see where they can save money and even what they can do about their taxes.
One of the most frequently asked questions, is "Can I Write Off Student Loans"? You can't exactly deduct student loans, but you can save up a lot if you only write off your student loan interest.

Can I Write Off Student Loans?
If you are a college student with loans, go to your student loan company and ask for the 1098-E form. Your student loan company will give this to you along with your monthly statement. Also ask for a 1040 Schedule A form and file it. If you have an accountant that handles your taxes, give the filled up 1098-E form to him/her.
The maximum amount of interest that can be deducted every year is $2,500. But this is only for unmarried students who only have $55,000 or less annually. For married students who file jointly, they can get deductions if they only get $110,000 every year. If you are single and earn $70,000 or more, or married and earn at least $140,000, you can only get partial deductions. Married students who do not file jointly cannot get deductions.

What is the best student credit card with lowest interest rate?
You seem determined to destroy your life with debt

what is the lowest interest credit card a student could get?
I’m going into college and looking for a card to build my credit history and help me get loans. So far, all the cards I’ve looked at offer interest rates ranging from 11% – 25%. Is there a card out there with lower rates?
Getting a card to carry balances is only going to hurt your credit rating.
So stating that you want to carry balances at low rates and get good credit do not go together.
There is only one way to use credit cards to get good ratings.
You charge things you need like food or gas and you pay in full each month.
Remember that employers check, so do landlords and car insurance companies.
Credit balances can ruin your credit – and in some cases devastate your life.
New laws passed in February will make it nearly impossible for you got get a card unless you are over 21.
This was done because so many students were getting in serious credit card problems.
If you are under 21, you will need a parent to co-sign on a card with you.
Don’t carry balances – it will destroy their credit equally.
