Taxpayer has a dependent who is in college.  He set up a qualified student loan in his sons name.  Taxpayer (not son) has been making all interest payments for 2024.  The 1099-E was issued in his sons name.  Can the taxpayer deduct the interest on his tax filing?

Best answer by MinhT1

If the taxpayer is the borrower or the co-signor on the loan and makes the loan payments, he can deduct the student loan interest on form 1098-E.

 

Please read this IRS document on the student loan interest deduction.
