But student loans can only be claimed by the person legally responsible for paying the loan and only what they actually paid (however a student can clam reguardless of who paid it, but not if a dependent). If the fathers name is not on the loan, he cannot claim the interest paid and neither can the dependent. This may be a case where nobody can claim it.
