Is interest paid on student loans tax deductible?

I have about $120K in student loans right now that I am paying off. I paid about $7500 in interest in 2006 on those loans. My loan provider sends me a form stating this for tax purposes. Is it tax deductible?

The full 2500 only when your magi levels equal to or more than 105000 but less than 105000 but less than 105000 but less if your student loan is single head of your student loan interest deduction for form 1040 instructions for those whose filing jointly you are claimed as married filing status is 2500 per return status is single head.
