My parents are paying for my school tuition, do I file the 1098-E form or do they?

posted

If the student loan is in your parents' names (PLUS), then they will have to claim any student loan interest deductions.

Student loan interest reported on the Form 1098-E can only be claimed by the person (or persons) who are legally responsible for the loan. Unless you were a co-signer on the loan, you can't claim a deduction for any interest paid.

For additional information, see "Can I claim my student loan?"

Filing my taxes independently this year, but last year I was a dependent. Can my parents claim my 1098-T if they paid for my tuition when I was still a dependent?
