If I paid a student loan completely off and I do not owe anything. How do I do this If I did not get a 1098-E?

You need to contact your loan service company to get a 1098-E that will show how much student loan interest was paid in 2021.

You don't enter it. Paying off a loan is not reported on your tax return. Paying off a loan does not qualify for a tuition credit or deduction. You claim the tuition credit back when the loan paid for the tuition (and other qualified expenses).

If the pay off included interest, then the interest portion is deductible.
