Can student loan interest be claimed if it is through a private lender (family member), or do you need a 1098E from an institution?

Related person. You can't deduct interest on a loan you get from a related person. Related persons include:
• Your spouse;
• Your brothers and sisters;
• Your half brothers and half sisters;
• Your ancestors (parents, grandparents, etc.);
