Amend taxes for Student loan interest deduction

[carchey79]

Looking back at my 2018 taxes I don't see a deduction for student loan interest. Can I amend my 2018 taxes for the student loan interest? I paid $4300 so I qualify for the $2500 deduction.

Student Loan Interest Paid is entered on Schedule 1 Line 33.  The total from Schedule 1 Line 36 is subtracted from Form 1040 Line 6 to arrive at the Adjusted Gross Income on Form 1040 Line 7
