Go to:

  • Federal Taxes
  • Deductions & Credits
  • I'll choose what I work on
  • Scroll down to Education
  • Click the Start button for "Student Loan Interest Paid (Form 1098-E)."

A 1098-E means that you may be able to deduct (technically an "adjustment to income")  the interest paid on a student loan. Follow the directions in the other reply.

 

"I need to deduct college loans on my 2024 1040" suggests you may be looking to deduct actual loan payments. That is not generally allowed.   However, thanks to a recent law change, student loan payments (up to a lifetime maximum) are now a qualified expense for a 529 plan distribution.
