Loans and doing taxes

I’m 25, and this will be the second year I’ve done my taxes on my own. I’m still a little iffy on the whole thing, so I was wondering if someone could answer me a quick question:

I took out a personal loan this year, and I’m curious if I need to mark this down as income when it comes time to file my taxes. That’s pretty much it. Anyone got the answer?

Loans aren’t generally counted as income. Since you have to pay it back, it’s different from money you’re keeping.
