Student Loan Payment Certification

Employers can provide retirement plan matches based on qualified student loan payments certified by the employee or made directly through payroll deduction. This form is used to certify student loan payments for the employer's match under the certification model only.


Submit a separate form for each qualified student loan on which you made payments during calendar year 2024.

Identify the date and corresponding amount for each qualified student loan payment made during the calendar year 2024.

(Under IRS guidance, an employee incurs a loan if he or she is the primary borrower or a cosigner. A guarantor is only deemed to have incurred a loan if the guarantor is legally obligated to make the payment because of the primary borrower's default.)
