Question

If I paid for school in 2019 for the spring of 2020, can I be eligible for the American Opportunity Tax Credit this year?

Box 1 of my 1098-T (2020) is empty because I paid for tuition in the winter of 2019.

No, if you paid the expenses you would have to claim for 2019.  You can amend your 2019 tax return to claim the credit.
