Should I remove my student loan from my taxes if my student loan was in deferment?

It doesn't matter. The student loan is just used for the student loan interest deduction (adjustment). If you do not get a 1098-E showing you paid interest, there is nothing to enter.  You can still use the free edition of TT, when you have student loans (but not when you are claiming a tuition credit).

 

On the other hand, if you remove it this year, it's easy enough to add it back in future years, you just won't get a reminder from TT.
