Student abroad working in the states

[hugomheinz]

I filed my taxes for 2019,  I am a legal-resident of the united states living in Florida, I work in the restaurant business  and I study online from a school abroad. Is there any way I can benefit educational deductions ? 

If so, how can I do this after already filing my taxes?

You have to be attending an eligible education institution.  Here's what the IRS says about what schools qualify:

An eligible educational institution is a school offering higher education beyond high school. It is any college, university, vocational school, or other post-secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a Federal student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education. This includes most accredited public, nonprofit and privately-owned–for-profit post-secondary institutions.

If you aren’t sure if your school is an eligible educational institution:

• Check to see if the student received a Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement. Eligible educational institutions are required to issue students Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement (some exceptions apply).
• Ask your school if it is an eligible educational institution, or
• See if your school is on the U.S. Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Post Secondary Institutions and Programs (DAPIP) or the Federal Student Loan Program list.
