If I didn’t file for the 2018 tax year because I had no income, but I had received a 1098T for my tuition paid in 2018, do I file an amendment or will it not matter?

I was employed in 2019 and want to know if I can now claim the tuition paid back in 2018, even if it’s with an amendment. I didn’t file for 2018 because I had no income that year.
