If you made any payments this year on loans, then the interest might be deductible, so if you got a form 1098-T for that, you might be able to use it. Payments for tuition and fees can be used for the Lifetime Learning credit even if they were paid with loans. Depending on how much income you had, the credit might or might not be worth anything to you – it only will if you have some total tax.
