My daughter who is no longer a dependent, has a college loan that I am paying off for her. The loan is in her name and she got a Form 1098-E.Can I write that off?

No, not unless you are on the loan.

Only the person(s)  named on the loan can use the 1098-E and deduct the interest payments.

If you co-signed, and you paid in 2016, then you could claim the interest on your tax return
