    The correct answer to the following question is option D) taxpayers are not allowed a deduction for education loan interest.

    Explanation:

    As per the question Shellie, who is a single individual, got her graduation degree in 2017 and she took a job of $45,000. From 2018 she was able to pay interest on her education loan and she paid $1500. Now since her annual gross income is less than $80,000, she is allowed a deduction up to $2500. So here the $1500 that she pays for interest on education loan would be allowed for deduction and the whole amount is deductible.
