sleepy, Dont get me wrong, I love the idea of writing off the student loan interest etc but I believe the following is true of writing off the interest payments (however these laws are always subject to change): You can only write off the interest payments for the first 60 months of repayment The write off in based on how much you make, the more you make the lesser the percentage you can write off. I am pretty sure this is how it works, but check for yourself.
