You need to answer the questions in TurboTax truthfully in order to adhere to their accuracy guarantee and to insure that your tax return is completed accuratly. When asked for the name on the 1098-T, you should enter the name as it is stated there.

 

If you look on the screen in TurboTax where you enter the interest, you will see questions highlighted in blue that say What if I paid Interest for someone else? When you click on that box, you will see this explanation that indicates that TurboTax will not guarantee the allowability of the deduction unless  the loan is in your name: @AR1806
