Zero Income and Received a 1098-E Form

My son is in his masters program and had zero income in 2023.  He received a 1098-E form with $2,200 in box 1.  The form is tied to his SSN, although I (parent) paid on his student loans in 2023.  I list him as a dependent on my taxes.  Can/should he file with zero income and include his 1098-E?  If he can receive a refund due to this interest paid, I would him to file his taxes.  Since I paid on his students loans, do I include it on my taxes?
