Unfortunately, you can't claim a deduction for student loan interest unless the loan is in your name or you are a cosigner.
You can claim the deduction only if you were legally obligated to pay interest on a qualified student loan. ”Legally obligated” to pay interest on a qualified student loan means you either signed for the loan yourself, as the student; or you cosigned for the loan as a parent or other cosigner.
