Is the interest paid Sallie Mae Bar Study Loans deductible?

[LinaJ2018 · Accepted solution]

Yes, it is.  Sallie Mae should send you a Form 1098-E at the end of the year that shows the interest you  paid.

Thank you.  However, when I contacted Sallie Mae they informed me they do not generate a 1098-E for these type of loans.  Rather they are sending a letter acknowledging the interest paid in 2018.  How should I report that  on my taxes?

[LinaJ2018]

You can still claim without the 1098-E. In the program, at the right upper corner, in the search box,type in "student loan interest" then Enter, Select Jump to student loan interest, follow prompts to enter info.
