My son had his student loan with Navient -they won't provide 1098-E for student loan interest. Can I file based on his payment statement?

[LinaJ2018]

Yes, you can file without the Form 1098-E.  As long as he keeps a record of the payment he has made, he will be fine.

The form may be available at Navient's web site <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://navient.com/in-repayment/taxes-and-interest">https://navient.com/in-repayment/taxes-and-inte...>
