Because you are filing for 2019, you use the tuition paid and scholarships received from your 2019 1098-T. Your tuition paid and scholarships received for 2020 will be reported on your 2020 Form 1098-T.
If you paid tuition and received a scholarship against the tuition amount in 2019 and it did not "post" at the college until 2020 (e.g., on the last day of the year), you can enter that additional tuition paid and scholarship received for your 2019 taxes. Click the "What if this is not the amount paid" link under box 1 of your Form 1098-T entry page to enter the total tuition paid in 2019 (including the amount paid by the scholarship). Then, in the Scholarship/Grant section on the "Did [student] Receive a Scholarship or Grant?" screen, enter the scholarship amount not reported on your 1098-T.
Be sure that in 2020 you do not report these same amounts when they are reported on the 2020 Form 1098-T from the college.
