I have student loans which I consolidated in May 2019. I received a 1098-E with an amount in Box 1. I did not pay any amount towards my loans (and won't need to until Aug 2020) due to the repayment plan I selected. Why is there an amount in Box 1 if I did not make any payments?
I have contacted my servicer and they cannot explain this discrepancy and stated that my 1098-E is correct.
