I have Canadian (government) student loans (in Canadian dollars) which I am still paying back from my Canadian bank account whilst I live and work in the US. Can I claim my student loan interest on my US taxes?
Also do I claim the amount in Canadian dollars?

I know that student loan interest can be deducted.

My student loans are all either in deferment or forbearance. I’m accruing interest on some of them, but I haven’t actually paid any interest yet. Can I deduct the interest that accrued?

Thanks!
