Question

Can I get student loan interest money refunded if I amend my TurboTax application with 1098-E information?

I just received the 1098e form from my student loan provider for 2021 but I have already submitted my federal tax information and it was accepted. The interest from student loans that I paid in 2021 on form 1098e is around ?1000. Would I get this money refunded if I amend my TurboTax application with this information?

My income is all foreign earned income and is not taxable in America.

The sudent loan interest deduction is a tax deduction and not a refundable tax credit.

 

If you have no U.S. taxable income, then claiming the student loan interest will not change anything. You will not get a refund and it is not necessary to amend your tax return.
