Yes, you need to amend to add. When you have received more scholarship than tuition paid, you would need to pay taxes on the difference. If you have already filed, you will have to wait until Feb 12 when the IRS opens the gate. You cannot return to the program to make any changes before that.
If your return got rejected for whatever reasons, you can return to the program to make the correction along with other changes. You do not need an amendment 1040-X.
If your return has been accepted, you will have to amend your return by filing a form 1040X. You should not try to amend your return until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.
Beginning with the 2019 tax year, you can e-file amended tax returns. If you used TurboTax to prepare Form 1040-X, follow the software's instructions to e-file the amendment.
