Student Loan interest paid by co-signer parent for dependant student

So as the co-signer I understand that I can deduct my dependant son's student loan interest -  I have been making interest payments for him.  However, I am not listed on the 1098-e, it only has his name on it, and Turbo Tax tells me I cannot claim it.  So how to claim it?

As the co-signer and as you have paid the loan interest, you can claim the student loan interest deduction.

 

In TurboTax, answer that the loan is in your name.
