Education

The answer to the poster's question is No. 

 

For others reading this, a related question is: Can I deduct student loan interest I paid on my child's education loan?

You can claim the interest deduction, if you meet the three requirements:

  1. You actually paid the interest
  2. You are legally obligated to pay it (co-signing counts)
  3. The student was your dependent, at the time the loan was used to pay for qualified educational expenses
