No. You would have to amend your 2021 return.

Q. Can I add my 2021 1098-T form to my 2023 taxes?

A. No. You would have to amend your 2021 return to claim it. If you did not file a 2021 return, you can still file one. It cannot be e-filed. You will have to mail it.

What are you hoping to achieve? For most college age students, the parent claims the tuition credit ("files the1098-T") on their tax return, not the student. If some of a student's scholarship is taxable, the student may have to use the 1098-T, as well.

There's a new urban myth among college students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A full time unmarried student, under age 24, even if you don't qualify as a dependent, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit.

You cannot claim a credit if you are, or can be, claimed as a dependent by someone else.

Only if you are self-employed. Job-related expenses for W-2 employees are no longer deductible on most people’s federal return in tax years 2018 through 2025.

A. You don't mail the 1098-T anywhere. You don't even attach it to your amended tax return.

You mail your amended tax return (form 1040X), per the instructions.
