Can you claim all the money paid towards the student loans or just the interest on the 1098? I ask because I paid off my wife's loan about 15000 and I pay mine too

I pay about 100 bucks a month on mine too.

You only enter the interest paid.  You do not enter the principal that you paid on the loan.
