Can I deduct the 1098E interest on a student loan for my granddaughter that I co-signed for and have made all the payments on?

She is not my dependent. Her mother lists her as a dependent and is unable to deduct the interest as the loan is not in her name.

Yes, you can deduct the student loan interest paid on your grand-daughter's student loan as you are the co-signer.

My name is not on the 1098E. Is that a problem?
