Your child can take a deduction for student loan interest paid only if the loan is in his name as well. The taxpayer who claims the student loan interest deduction must be legally obligated to pay interest on the loan.

Please view the TurboTax FAQ below for more information about the rules for claiming the student loan interest deduction.
