Hi Coleen, this doesn't actually answer my question. My question is relates to the fact that I didn't pay all the interest reflected in my 1098-E. It was paid on my behalf by SoFi, the lender with whom I refinanced. As I pay off the loan with SoFi, the interest paid will be deductible. I imagine that the IRS wouldn't like for me to be taking the interest deduction twice -- once when the loan was refinanced and again when I paid down the refinanced loan.
