I need to make an amendment to my taxes, but there is no option on the screen to do so. I've looked up where that tab should be and it's not there and I'm not sure why.

To clarify,

Did you already file and now need to amend and make a change or are you still working on your original return?

I already filed and need to go back and make a change.

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2023 tax return will not be available in TurboTax until 02/14/2024

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

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.
