He incurred education expenses of $21,000 during college of which $3,780 was paid for by scholarships. To finance his education, he borrowed $12,500 through a federal student loan program and borrowed another $8,500 from a local lending institution for educational purposes. After graduation, he married and moved with his spouse to a distant city. In 2019, he incurred $1,250 of interest on the federal loans and $850 on the lending institution loan. He filed a joint return with his spouse showing modified AGI of $122,500. What amount of student loan interest can Zach and his spouse deduct in 2019, if any

Respuesta :

Answer:

$1722

Explanation:

incurred expenses = 21000

scholarship amount = 3780

interest on federal loan = 1250

interest on lending institution = 850

Education expenses:

21000 - 3780

= $17220

= $17220/21000

= $0.82 = 82%

the interest incurred would be:-

intereston federal loan + interest from lending institution

= $1250 + $850

= $2100

$2100 * $850

= $1722
