A wealthy private individual loaned me some money to finance my education in college. Can this loan be deducted on my taxes? I have since graduated school and am currently working for him. Thanks!
As long as the private individual is not a relative, the loan source is immaterial. See Publication 970.

No. Loans are not income, nor are they deductible. The interest you pay on such a "private" loan does not qualify as an educational loan, so is not deductible.
