If I had more than $2,500 in student loan interest last year can it roll over and I deduct the interest this year?

the interest in 2016 was more than $2,500 can I deduct the difference in 2017?

No the amount not able to be used does not roll over to the next year.

Only amounts paid during the year are entered in TurboTax for that year.
