Student Loan Deduction Act of 2025
This bill adds a new tax deduction for student loan payments to the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. It allows households to deduct monthly student loan payments made by any household member, covering both federal loans under the Higher Education Act and qualifying private loans. The deduction applies at household certification or recertification points for programs like SNAP, but only for payments not covered by third parties. It directly affects households with student loan debt seeking to reduce their taxable income through this specific tax provision. The change takes effect 180 days after the bill's enactment.
