Re: Pay off student loans early or take the tax deduction from the interest?
The tax deduction is phased out if you are married and make more than $100k. (I know too many 2-income families out here making $50k each with BIG college debts - no deduction).
I have to assume you qualify since your tax guy suggested it. One thing to consider is if will you continue to qualify.
Plus I agree - if you are alternately in a low tax bracket, you aren't paying that much in taxes in the first place - 15% is pretty small beans.
I would vote pay it off!
