I've taken student loans for Fall 16 and Spring 17, but it is saying I do not have student loans. Why is this the response I'm getting?

If you are referring to the part of the TurboTax interview that asks if you made payments on student loans for the student loan interest deduction, it is looking for loans that are in repayment status and loans that you have actually started paying. The loans for Fall 16 and Spring 17 are probably not in repayment because you are using them for your current post secondary education. You would have received Form 1098-E for the interest you paid.
