If I file my 2022 1040 for the first time tomorrow, do I have 3 years to file an amended return?

Yes, That is correct. 

 

"Generally, to claim a refund, you must file an amended return within 3 years after the date you filed your original return or 2 years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. If you filed early, count from the April tax deadline."
