<prompt> Human: Ive written off interest paid on my student loans before, but now that Im in a completely new situation in my life, I have a couple questions for all you gurus. - can I write off interest paid if I consolidated to a private loan, through a company like SoFI?- if the answer to the first is true, can my fiancé write off interest paid on my loans if shes been making an additional monthly payment with me?  <response>: You can deduct interest paid on your student loan. Your fiancée cannot, as she is not obligated to pay these loans.
