Have been paying for a long time, but not in school now. Did you make any "qualified education loan payments". What does this mean?

This question is asking about student loan payments. Have you been making any payments on any loans that you have previously taken out related to you going to school? If you made any qualified education loan payments, you should have received Form 1098-E that reflects the interest paid to a lender. This is deductible on your return as an adjustment to your income and may reduce the amount due for tax.
