Q. If I pay my student loans that my father and I are cosigned on, should I be able to claim the interest even though my fathers name is on the tax form?

A. Yes. In TurboTax, just treat the 1098-E as being yours.

You can claim the interest deduction, if you meet the requirements:

You actually paid the interest
You are legally obligated to pay it

I cannot claim my Student Loan Interest because I can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, but they can't claim me because I earned over $4500 in 2023.
