DIRECT STUDENT LOAN

I’m claiming my partner as a dependent on my taxes this year. She is not employed, nor a student, and I have been providing for her the entire year, including paying on her student loans. She was not my dependent when the loan was taken out. Am I allowed to claim a deduction for this, or is this just lost?
Thank you!

Hi!! I just got in a program, and need a student loan. Can anyone please direct my in a right path? I know nothing about this at all. Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

I am 31 years of age, independent. Which form do I use, if I qualify?
I made $1,002 in student loan interest payments, and contributed $520 to the Flexible Spending Account.
How do I qualify? Can I combine the student loan interest payments, FSA and the standard deduction, plus the one personal exemption on the same form? If so, which one?

I have a ridiculous interest rate on my Direct federal student loan 6.8% for ~$25,000. My other ones are 5% or less which I’m cool with, but that 6.8% one is bugging the hell out of me. I just want to know if there is any way to get somewhere around a 5% loan to pay off the 6.8% one that I currently have. I just can’t believe I have a higher interest rate than most car loans for a student loan. Plus, I hear from some of my friends who are still in school that they are getting around 5.5% on the same type of loan currently.
