Question

I forgot to pay tuition expense for 2020 can I pay the expenses before I file for 2020 and include them on my 2020 1098T box 1?

No. And more bad news, you cannot claim it on your 2012 return either.  You cannot claim late payments, paid in the next year.

 

You may only claim expenses paid for course work taken in the same year. The one exception: you may claim $ paid in 2020 for the first term in 2021.
