You'll need to amend your return for 2018.

You will need to print and mail the amendment.
Allow 8-12 weeks for processing.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.

No. You can use a 2019 1098E on a 2019 tax return, You cannot add past year data or documents to a different year's return.

If you did not use it last year when you filed for your 2018 return--why not? Were you someone else's dependent for 2018? Filing married filing separately? Forgot to enter it?

I had already submitted electronically and then did not know how to do an amended one. So...;. there is no way to get the 2018 info sent to them on the 2019 taxes? Or... can I do a 2018 Amended Tax form? Thoughts.
