What it does
The Student Loan Marriage Penalty Elimination Act of 2025 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow married couples filing jointly to each claim up to $2,500 in student loan interest deductions separately, rather than being subject to a combined $2,500 limit. This change would affect married taxpayers with student loan interest, potentially increasing their allowable deduction. The bill also includes conforming amendments to update section headings and clarify that no double benefit is allowed for the same expense under other tax provisions, and it would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
