If you have transmitted your returns with your W-2 information, the next step is to wait for them to be accepted or rejected.

If rejected, you may add your 1098-T and resubmit.

If accepted, you'll have to amend (available late January or early February 2018).

Note:

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

You're free to cash your refund check or spend it once you have it. You don't need to wait for your amendment to finish processing, which can take another 3-4 months.
If you owe money after amending, you'll just include payment with your mailed amendment form.
And if your amendment results in a second refund, you'll get a check for the additional amount.

An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed.
The IRS will take 12 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
3 weeks after you mailed your amendment, you can start tracking its progress at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? site.

I had filed my taxes and I had got another W2 from my daughters college she had atteneded and I got it 2 days after I had filed my return. So how do I file the 1098-T form for the amendment.

Yes, you will need to add it to your 2020 return.

If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back.

You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected.

If rejected, you can make any necessary changes.
If accepted, you'll need to amend your return.
To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed.
You can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail.
Allow 16 weeks for processing.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.
