Do i get the 1098-e deduction back

My 1098-E form from my lender had $1,800 interest received by lender. Will this become part of my tax return? How does this affect my taxes?

The student loan interest is entered as an Adjustment to Income, not a tax refund or credit.  An adjustment to income reduces the Adjusted Gross Income thereby reducing the amount of taxable income.
