How is it possible to deduct more than just interest on student loans?

I have 160k students Sallie Mae loans. I know I can deduct the interest, but how could one deduct the entire paid off loans? Could one do it through an LLC as an education expense, or perhaps pay cash for a piece of property, then take a loan against the property to pay off the loan? How could I possibly deduct the entire loan?

Is it possible to consolidate student loans that come from different banks? And how would I do that?

I have undergrad student loans from one bank that I consolidated, and then graduate student loans from another bank. I am graduating in August and at that point I would like to have them all consolidated so I am not paying 3 different people each month.

Is it possible to transfer student loans to a different school?

I’ve become rather upset at the school I am currently at. I am looking to change schools very soon if possible. Does anyone know if student loans to another school as long as the new school is accredited? Or do I have to reapply for loans?Can you even transfer to another school that isn’t accredited but is the same course material?
I love mistyping. That should have asked whether anyone knows whether the loans can be transfered.

What kind of student loans are there besides stafford?

already receive stafford loans, but I know that some people take out tens of thousands of dollars worth of other loans for school. Im probably going to need around 20,000 beyond the stafford loans altogether. Also, my parents have no money and I think they have bad credit, so will that affect me?
What are some good loans out there?

How to get rid of student loans before they really start accumulating?

I am a college sophomore attending a state school but even so I have already accumulated thousands in student loan debt. I worked 60+ hours a week last summer and that money won’t even last to cover half this year’s rent and utilities! I am trying to cut back spending but really all I buy are groceries and the occasional movie ticket. I don’t even have any transportation costs because the bus is free for students.

I have been unable to find part-time work that fits around my schedule because I need to take a lot of credits or I’m not going to graduate in time which would mean taking out even more loans. I applied for every scholarship I could get a hold of but didn’t get a penny, and my financial aid is absolutely pathetic because my family is in that awful limbo where their tax returns show too much income to get decent aid but too little to actually contribute anything. I am 19 years old, and I am scared out of my mind that I am digging a hole I’m never going to get out of.

HELP!!

Can student loan interest be used as a tax deduction if the loans are in deferment/forbearance?

I know that student loan interest can be deducted.

My student loans are all either in deferment or forbearance. I’m accruing interest on some of them, but I haven’t actually paid any interest yet. Can I deduct the interest that accrued?

Thanks!

About graduate student loans, is it possible to deduct paid interest from taxes paid later when at work?

If both spouses have asked for loans , does it make any difference to make a deduction if one or both are working after they graduate ?

Can student loans prevent you from leaving the US?

If I am a US citizen with student loans (about 13k) will I be allowed to leave the States?
I am planning on moving to another country for a period of time in order to get married to my fiancee. However, I intend to return to the States and pay the loans in any case.

What are the best ways to get student loans with a decent interest rate?

I have been in community college for the first 2 years of my schooling so I have not had to take out any student loans yet. I have been applying for loans for this next semester and I have been getting really high interest rates. Some are over 15% which I feel is riduculous. I am 21 years old with good credit and I have used my parents as co-borrowers when applying. They do not have great credit and my dad makes too much money for me to get any government help, but they don’t pay for anything. Where should I go for lower interest rate on loans? Also, what is a good amount to take out if I decide not to work next semester? Thanks!
My parents are married so any information I use goes for both parents.
