1098-E: Box 1 filled but no payments made

[BE2]

I have student loans which I consolidated in May 2019. I received a 1098-E with an amount in Box 1. I did not pay any amount towards my loans (and won't need to until Aug 2020) due to the repayment plan I selected. Why is there an amount in Box 1 if I did not make any payments? 

I have contacted my servicer and they cannot explain this discrepancy and stated that my 1098-E is correct.

Per the IRS instructions for Form 1098-E, Box 1: it also includes capitalized interest and loan origination fees.

• Capitalized interest is unpaid interest that's added to your student loan, increasing the total you repay.
