Education

You can't.  The tuition credit is based on current year payments for current year education.  So, only tuition paid, in 2020,  for 2020 courses (and/or the first term of 2021), qualifies for a education credit on your 2020 tax.

 

Furthermore, a payment in 2020, would not qualify you to amend a past year return.  Besides, there is a three year limit for amending for a refund.
