Question

My federal student loans were garnished from my paycheck through 2019. Am I allowed to claim what I paid on taxes?

Do you have any sort of document showing the interest you paid on the student loan?  Did you get a 1098E?  Only the interest paid could be deductible--not the principal amount paid.
