Can I carryover student loan interest

I refinanced my student loan last year so they sent me a 1098E for $70K. Can I carryover that amount to my 2017 return?

No, you cannot carry over student loan interest to future years.  You must deduct interest paid in 2016 on your 216 tax return.  The maximum amount is $2500; any unused amount is lost, unfortunately.
