1098-E Tax Form

Student loan interest payments are reported on the IRS Form 1098-E, Student Loan Interest Statement.

If you made federal student loan payments in 2016, you may be eligible to deduct a portion of the interest you paid on your 2016 federal tax return.

Student Loan Servicer

Your student loan servicer (who you make payments to) will provide a copy of your 1098-E if the interest you paid in 2016 met or exceeded $600.

Your servicer may send you your 1098-E electronically or via U.S. Postal Service.
Check with your servicer if you haven't yet received your 1098-E for 2016. Your servicer has 1098-E information on the home page of its website. Look there for quick answers to your questions.
If you are unsure who your loan servicer is, visit www.nslds.ed.gov or call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243; TTY 1-800-730-8913).
Note: If you had multiple loan servicers in 2016, you will receive a separate 1098-E from each servicer.
