Hi folks,
I am a Canadian who is working in the United States on an H-1 visa. I am a resident for tax purposes herein the US.
I had a query regarding repaying student loans during my last tax submission as a resident for tax purposes in the USA but due to time limitations let it go. This time, I thought I will pose my query early on to folks who may have the answer.
I accumulated a huge student loan with OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) and a student line of credit with a Canadian bank. I repay both these student loans monthly and was wondering if I can claim it in my US return as a resident. I know that form 1040 has a section on Student Loan Interest Deduction but I am not sure if repaying loans to taken for studies in Canada (rather than the US) can be used.
Any feedback or thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks.
