If you have transmitted your
returns with your W-2 information, the next step is to wait for them to be accepted or rejected.
If rejected, you may add your 1098-T and resubmit.
If accepted, you'll have to amend (available late January or early February 2018).
Amendment
instructions can be found here when updated:

Note:
- Before
starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received
or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
- You're
free to cash your refund check or spend it once you have it. You don't
need to wait for your amendment to finish processing, which can take
another 3-4 months.
- If you
owe money after amending, you'll just include payment with your mailed
amendment form.
- And if
your amendment results in a second refund, you'll get a check for the
additional amount.
- An amended
return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot
be e-filed.
- The IRS
will take 12 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
- 3
weeks after you mailed your amendment, you can start tracking its progress
at the IRS Where's My
Amended Return? site.
