HR 5920 United States House · 118th Congress

Student Loan Marriage Penalty Elimination Act of 2023

This bill, HR 5920 (Student Loan Marriage Penalty Elimination Act of 2023), changes how married couples can deduct student loan interest on their federal taxes. It amends the tax code to allow each spouse to claim a separate $2,500 deduction limit for student loan interest, instead of a single combined limit for the couple. This directly affects married couples filing jointly who pay student loan interest and qualify for the deduction. The change applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, and ensures the deduction aligns with the tax treatment for individual filers.
