Higher Education Loan Expenses
Question:
Client is no longer in College, but still has student loan to pay. Can this expense qualify as 'Higher Education expense' which is not subject to the 10% penalty on early withdrawals of IRA's?

Answer:
No. Student loan repayments are not a "qualified" education expense for purposes of avoiding the premature distribution penalty. The list of expenses is in Publication 590.
