you can deduct student loan interest no matter what from  what i understand

I just got my wifes 1098-E for student loan interest and tried to input it into Turbo Tax.  Our AGI exceeds the limit to claim a deduction, but I noted the following eligibility requirement:

"Your filing status cannot be married filing separetly."

I also noted that you can claim a deduction for student loan interest on loans that your parents helped you pay.  I'm sure that both parties cannot claim the deduction so I'd research it more before I put it on my tax return.
