No, you can't file your 2019 1098-Tform with your 2020 return. You need to amend your 2019 return to add form 1098-T

You don't have to report your 1098-T, unless you want to claim the education credit.  However if your grant/scholarship amount (box 5) is more than your tuition (box 1/box 2) you may want to report it because excess scholarship money may be treated as taxable income on your return.

How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed?
