Question

Does it matter which year I purchased my book and materials for the section under education expenses?

Yes.  You may only claim expenses actually paid in 2019, on your 2019 tax return.  For example, if you bought the books for Spring 2019, in December 2018, you may not claim that expense on your 2019 return.  You may claim it on your 2018 return.
