Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The deduction for educational interest is only available for interest paid on a qualified education loan for the taxpayer, their spouse or their dependent. Room, board and travel expenses are not included. The maximum deduction for interest expense on qualified education loans is $2,500, not $6,000. A penalty paid for prematurely withdrawing a certificate of deposit is not deductible as an investment expense. Therefore, options A, C, and D are false.
