You do not need a 1098-E to get the deduction. It just helps to ward off an IRS inquiry. You meet the requirements to take a deduction:
1. You are legally obligated to pay it (co signer counts)
2. You actually paid it
3. The student was your dependent at the time the loan money was used for education.
