How to Find Your Student Loan Account Number
If you’re like most people, you probably don’t know your student loan account number off the top of your head. Fortunately, it’s not too difficult to find. In this article, we’ll show you how to find your student loan account number for the IRS.
Your Student Loan Servicer
If you’re not sure who your student loan servicer is, you can look it up on the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS®). NSLDS is the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) central database for student aid. You’ll need to create an account using your federal student aid PIN so have that handy.
Once you log in, look for the section titled “Loan Records.” There you will find a list of all of the federal loans you have received during your time as a student. Each loan will list the servicer next to the loan type. If you still can’t find your loan servicer after checking NSLDS, contact ED at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243; TTY 1-800-730-8913).
The National Student Loan Data System
The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the national database of information about Direct Loans and FFEL Program loans. NSLDS receives data from schools, guaranty agencies, the Direct Loan program, and other Department of Education programs. NSLDS Student Access provides a centralized, integrated view of Title IV loans and grants so that recipients of Title IV Aid can access and inquire about their data. This ensures that schools, lenders, and servicers have access to the accurate and complete data they need to administer the Title IV programs.
In order to obtain your account number for the IRS, you will need to go to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) website at www.nslds.ed.gov and login with your social security number, date of birth, and pin number. Once you are logged in, click on the “Financial Aid Review” button on the left-hand side of your screen. Then click on the “Loan Details” link next to each loan listed on this page. Your account number will be listed under the “Loan Servicer” section on this page next to “Account Number.”
Your Student Loan Account Number
If you’re a current or former student who has taken out loans to help pay for your education, you probably have more than one student loan account number. Your account number(s) will be determined by the type of loan(s) you have and the organization or company that service your loan(s).
To find your student loan account number(s), start by logging into your account with the servicer for each of your loans. If you’re not sure who your servicer is, you can look it up on the U.S. Department of Education’s myeddebt website. Once you’re logged in, look for an option to view or download your loan statement. Your account number will be listed on your statement.
If you don’t have access to your account or statements, you can contact your loan servicer directly to ask for your account number. You can also check the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) for a list of all of the federal loans that you’ve received and their corresponding servicers. To access NSLDS, log in with your FSA ID.
As mentioned earlier, if you also have private student loans, you’ll need to contact your lender directly to find out what your account number is.
Conclusion
In conclusion, your student loan account number for the IRS can be found on your most recent student loan statement. If you cannot find your most recent statement, you can contact your student loan servicer for assistance.
