Is the interest paid Sallie Mae Bar Study Loans deductible?

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?

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.

Thank you.  Very much appreciated
