I forgot to file the 1098T last year on my 2015 taxes, how should I proceed

You would need to file that on an amended 2015 tax return, you can not file it in any other tax year.

The 1098-T is only any informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return.

However receipt of a 1098-T frequently means you (or your parents, if you are their dependent) are either eligible for a tuition credit or deduction or possibly have taxable scholarship income. If neither of those are true, you do not need to do anything. Other wise, you can file an amended return.
