Been hearing about a Self-Employed Tax Credit. I see many accting firms saying they will file the paperwork for a fee & 20% of the credit. Can I file this myself?

I don't know about any self employed credits.  Do you pay employees?  Maybe this one?

Here's 2 links I found.  Yes you can amend your prior returns if you qualify.

And....if you are referring to the Employee Retention Credit.....that was a credit on 2020 or 2021 tax returns---not available for 2022 or 2023.    If you could have used that credit for 2020 or 2021, then you need to amend your 2020 and/or 2021 tax returns.
