Student loan interest is a deduction that reduces your taxable income. Therefore, you will not see your refund increase by the amount shown on your Form 1098-E.
This means that with a lower taxable income you will pay
less taxes. Student loan interest does
not affect your refund dollar-for-dollar as it would if it were a credit instead of a deduction. If it were
treated as a credit, then your total tax would be reduced by the total amount
of the interest and your refund would be increased by the same amount.
