It's not enough that you paid the student loan. You or your mother have to meet ALL of the following to get the deduction:
To enter: Where do I enter student loan interest (Form 1098-E)?
You cannot deduct it since you are not legally required to pay it.
Your mother can deduct under the theory that you paying it is considered a gift to her. If the 1098-E comes to her, that will keep the IRS away. But, it would be better if you gave the money to her and let her pay it directly.
