ok. my income was 75 K year before last (gross) I get a hell of a lot taken out.
and I wanna say I claimed $900. I had just started repaying.

Did you pay 3K in student loan interest or 3K in student loans total? You can't deduct money you spent paying down principal

Your gross was between $75-$80K, did you contribute to a 401(k) plan? If so, your AGI, and modified AGI may well be less than the $75K maximum. If not, you can still contribute to a traditional IRA to reduce your AGI to less than $75K. This might allow you to deduct some of the student loan interest.
