Q. Turbo Tax says he doesn't qualify; no one claims him, why doesn't he qualify??

A. He doesn't qualify because he is not legally obligated to pay the loan or the interest. This is because the loan is in YOUR name only .

 

And you can't claim it either, because "he is paying the loan".

 

For the family to get the deduction, you need to make the payments and take the interest deduction on Yiur tax return.
