Tax Year Prior to 2020: Tuition and Fees Deduction Form 8917 for tax year 2018 unavailable

Hello everyone,

I did my 2019 taxes today and was happy to see that the Tuition and Fees Deduction was extended for years 2018, 2019, and 2020. I went back to my return last year to file an amended return for year 2018 and it still would not let me take deduct and Form 8917 is unavailable. Am I misunderstanding something or will I have to fill out an amended return by hand?
