Do I need to amend my return if I received a corrected copy of my 1098?

It depends on why it was corrected.

If there's a change in the dollar amount that you based a credit on, then yes.

If there's just a change in the non-numerical fields (except for EIN) OR if you didn't use it, then no.  An example of this would be a 1098-INT for mortgage interest, when you don't itemize.
