I paid for my entire 2019-2020 school year in the fall of 2019. My 1098t for 2020 shows no expenses. Should I add the tuition that was paid for that semester or leave it?

You can only claim what you actually paid. You could have claimed that payment on your 2019 tax return. If it will make a difference (usually it won't), you can file an amended 2019 tax return. You may only count payments for a term starting between Jan 1 and Mar 31 of the following year.
