Origin: Massachusetts allows as an option the federal "interest on education loans" deduction. The federal deduction phases out based on modified AGI. As a result of the 2005 Code update, Massachusetts adopted the federal provision that temporarily repealed the 60-month limitation raised taxpayer income limitations through the end of 2010.
Alternatively, Massachusetts allows a deduction of undergraduate student loan interest. Filers may only choose one of these deductions.
Origin: M.G.L. c. 62, § 2(d)(1) and I.R.C. §§ 62(a)(17), 221.
