What is the relevance of the field "Prior year student loan interest" on the Student Loan Interest Worksheet?

RicB

This year there is a new field on the Student Loan Interest Worksheet entitled "Prior year student loan interest".  I can't figure out what should go here and why.  Help doesn't really address it.  These kinds of things are usually there for a reason, so I'm reluctant to ignore it.

Can anyone add insight?

It has no tax relevance and not entering the info changes nothing.  If it carries over, great.  If not, ignore.

I thought it's been there for years.  Intuit  once had a programmer who thought information like that might be helpful, like the "two-year comparison" feature.  I think she made a fortune on Bitcoin and retired to New Zealand.
