What happens if I paid off my entire student loan but they still applied my tax rebate to it? January 22, 2010

I paid off my entire defaulted student loan at the beginning of this month. I even received a paid in full letter. But today I just got a letter from the IRS that my $600 was applied to that loan by offset!! Apparently there wasn’t enough time between when I paid off the loan and then getting my rebate. I just tried to call the Missouri Department of Education, which my loan is through, but they are closed for the day. Does anyone know if I can get my $600 back??? :(

Can student loan interest be used as a tax deduction if the loans are in deferment/forbearance? January 13, 2010

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!
