Forgot to claim student loan interest deductions 1098e for this year 2017, can i do it for next year or do i legally have to amend it and do it for this year

i filed my taxes and as of today 1/22/2018, they have already received and accepted my federal tax form. However, i forgot to add my 1098 e for my schools interest. The amendment form wont even be available until 2/1/2018. Can I just file the 1098 next year? or am i legally obligated to amend the tax for this year, and will it be a separate process or will it hold up my entire refund and push it back.
