Student Loan Marriage Penalty Elimination Act of 2025
This bill changes how married couples filing jointly can deduct student loan interest on their federal taxes. Currently, the deduction limit of $2,500 applies to the household as a whole. The bill would amend the tax code to apply the $2,500 limit separately to each spouse, meaning both partners could each deduct up to $2,500 in interest. This directly affects married couples with student loans who file jointly, providing them with a larger potential tax benefit. The change takes effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
