No. You cannot correct a 2023 mistake by adding it to your 2024 return. You can, however, amend your 2023 return to include the student loan interest.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

You can watch for information here:

No. you must enter income and expenses in the year they occurred in.

You may deduct the lesser of $2,500 or the amount of interest you actually paid during the year.
You would have to amend the 2023 tax return
How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?
