What happens if you just add $10 to your AGI and omit the interest payments?

My thinking is the IRS will send you a "corrected" return and a $0 bill for the difference. Since that's what they do if you fill out incorrect information anyway.




It's a deduction so don't report at all


As far as I know, reporting paid student loan interest is a "required" form according to the IRS.

I remember looking up information about it at the time to see if I could just not report it, and that did not seem to be recommended


Really odd, it's like failing to report donations. But i guess they filed it.
