Answer 2

Answer: the correct answer is A) Lewis can deduct all the interest on his student loan for AGI .

Step-by-step explanation:

AGI stands for adjusted gross income which is your total gross income minus certain deductions. The income driven repayment plans will use your AGI to calculate your monthly payment. There's a direct relationship between your AGI and the monthly payment due on your federal student loans.
