You can claim the interest. 

Search for 1098-E and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results. Answer Yes to the question Did you get a 1098-E for student loan interest? If you land on the Here's your 1098-E info (or Here's what you paid in student loan interest) screen, you can either edit an existing payment or add a new one.

You can deduct student loan interest if the student was your dependent when the loan was taken out, even if the student is no longer your dependent.
