Question
Last year, my parents and I both took out student loans to pay for my education. We both received Form 1098-E for our separate loans. I wasn't their dependent last year. Can we both claim student loan interest on our tax returns?
Answer
No. 星空体育手机端 parents cannot claim the deduction for student loan interest on their tax return because you were not their dependent at the time they took out a student loan for you. However, you can claim, subject to certain limitations, the deduction with respect to the loan that you took out for yourself (assuming that you meet the other requirements for this deduction).
