Student loan interest for doctors

Up to $2,500

Can You Write Off Student Loan Interest for Doctors?

Short answer: Up to $2,500 of student loan interest is deductible above the line, but it phases out at higher incomes most attendings exceed.

Residents usually qualify; attendings usually don't.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
