If your father's name is on the loan, then he would receive the 1098 and be eligible to take the credit.  You can't take the credit because you are not obligated to pay the loan.  But your father can take credit.  You making the payments directly is the same as you giving him money and him making the payments on the loan.  The payments are credited to him.
