Can I claim dependent's student loan interest

[cdyoung17]

I am the parent, claiming my daughter as a dependent. She could not pay her student loan last year due to medical condition.  I paid all of her student loan because I am co borrower on this loan. Shouldn't I be able to claim the student loan interest paid?

Yes, if you are legally obligated on the loan, you can take the deduction for your daughter's student loan interest on your return.
