No.  If you did NOT cosign for the loan, then you cannot claim the interest deduction.  In order to claim the interest deduction you need to be legally liable for the loan.  Since you are not at all liable for the loan, you cannot claim the interest.  Only your daughter would be able to claim the interest deduction.
