My taxes have already been accepted. I received a 1098E form in the mail for student loan interest after doing them. Is there a way to add this to the years tax returns?

You will need to amend the 2018 tax return to add the Form 1098-E.  An amended federal tax return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.  The IRS will take up to 4 months or longer to process the amended tax return.  If taxes are owed after completing the amended return, you send a check with the amended return when it is mailed.  If the amended return has a tax refund, then the IRS will send you a refund check in the mail for the refund, the refund cannot be direct deposited.

The IRS Form 1040X is estimated to be available on 02/22/2019.  See this TurboTax website for IRS forms availability - https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_fed_online_individual.html
