No.  Only 2020.  2019 goes on a 2019 return.

Why didn't you file last year?

 

If you were your parent's dependent, they shoulda coulda claimed the tuition credit based on your tuition and other qualified expenses.

 

If you were eligible to claim yourself, you can still file a 2019 tax return and claim what you were eligible for.  But, most college age students are not eligible for the (up to) $1000 refundable tuition credit.
