Was my student loan interest deducted from my return?

I tried to access my recently filed taxes to see if I was given a deduction for my student loan interest and I am not able to do so.

The student loan interest paid is not a deduction or a credit.  It is an adjustment to income which reduces your Adjusted Gross Income.  It is entered on Form 1040A on Line 18, on Form 1040 on Line 33.
