I sounds like the student was enrolled fulltime in 2020 and also paid the tuition in 2020. If so, then you would claim the education expenses in 2020. You would not have to do anything for 2019.
It would not matter what is on the form 1098-T, the overriding consideration is when the tuition was paid and when the courses were taken, which is in 2020 I believe.
