What this bill would do

This bill, titled the ``Student Loan Marriage Penalty Elimination Act of 2025'', aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It seeks to allow married couples to apply the student loan interest deduction limitation separately to each spouse. The legislation changes how the $2,500 interest limit is calculated for taxpayers. These amendments would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
