I received a 1098-T form from school after I already filed. The amount went from $0 to $1126. Thats the amount I got back already. Not sure if I am getting that again?

When I went to amend my taxes the amount went from $0 to $1126. So I’m not sure if I still need to amend since that’s the amount I already received back or if I need to amend because I will receive that amount as well?

If you did it correctly, the refund on your 1040X will be in addition to what you already received. 

When you begin amending a tax return, one of the first things that happens is that the program assumes that you received your refund (which is why we recommend waiting until you actually receive it). So it zeroes out your refund, and any changes that you make with an amended return will result in either an additional refund (if you're increasing expenses) or a balance due (if you're reporting more income or reducing expenses.

Since you have to print your amended return out to mail it, look it over to see the difference between your original return and the the amended. In particular, check out lines 7 and 15, which is where you'd see your Education Credits.
