It would be the SAME PER PERSON....

Currently, you are penalized for getting married.

If you live with someone and you both pay on your student loans. Nith people can take the deduction.

The moment you get married, it becomes one deduction per family unit.
There are a lot of marriage tax penalties if you don't have kids.
