ROHNERT PARK, Calif.,
June 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- People
may not realize it or think about it too often, but student loan
repayment and taxes can go hand in hand. Certain information from
tax forms may pertain to other pieces of the student loan repayment
when enrolling for an income-driven repayment program (IDR). In
particular, marital filing status can affect eligibility for more
beneficial IDR terms. Ameritech Financial, a document preparation
service company, helps clients apply for IDRs and encourages
married clients to look at the variety of options they may have
with IDRs and filing statuses.
"There's a lot of 'firsts' that happen after marriage. Some are
more paperwork-driven than others," said Tom Knickerbocker, executive vice president of
Ameritech Financial. "As for the first time of filing taxes
together, for some couples it can be exciting to be able to file
jointly."
But if one person in a marriage has federal student loans and is
considering applying for an IDR, it might be in his or her best
interest to consult professionals on what filing status may work
out more in their favor. Filing jointly may provide tax benefits
based on the couples combined income if it's high enough, but it
may also exclude an individual from qualifying for more beneficial
IDR terms as a result. What path is right for the couple should
really be thought about seriously and with proper information
from cited sources or a professional.
For those who want to apply for IDRs, Ameritech Financial can be
there to assist with the application process for federal programs
that may potentially lower a borrower's monthly payments. "Student
loan repayment can become difficult through no fault of the
borrower's, and we understand. We wouldn't want anyone's marriage
potentially ruined by financial strife. Assisting people with the
application for an income-driven repayment program is how we do our
best to try and help improve our clients' quality of life," said
Knickerbocker.
