You should wait until your return has processed. If you expect a refund, wait until after you receive the refund.
February 15 is the first date to file an amended return, but only if the original has already been processed. It is not the ONLY day to file an amended return. You have several years.
HERE is a link for how to amend your return using TurboTax after your original return has processed.
Because you say you have student loan interest to add, the interest will lower your Adjusted Gross Income. That in turn MIGHT increase your refund, but by how much is based on your tax rate and other deductions and credits.
You can always start the amended return now to see how much your refund increases (if at all) just wait to send it until the original is finished. If an original and amended return are filed too closely, they can cross in the IRS system and cause problems.
