Tax-Deductible Interest

Interest paid on certain loans that one may take off of one's taxable income. For example, in the United States, interest on mortgage loans and student loans are deductible, at least up to a certain limit. For example, if a person spends $1,200 in student loan interest in a year, he may reduce his taxable income by $1,200.
