What is a 1098-E form?

The 1098-E form is a student loan interest statement. It states how much interest you paid on student loans within a year, and you may find out you are eligible for deductions.

A 1098-E must be filled out if you paid at least $600 in student loan interest. If you have made payments to more than one servicer, you must fill out a 1098-E for each servicer that received the minimum interest payment.

If you did not pay that designated amount during a calendar year, you will not receive a 1098-E form.
