How do I amend a return to receive Credit for Sick Leave and Family Leave for Self employed

Apparently if you were self-employed during Covid shutdown you may be eligible for certain Sick Leave and Family Leave credits (Form 7202).   In order to receive this credit would a self-employed individual need to file an amended Tax Return, or can it be applied for when they file their 2023 tax return?

The credit was only available on a 2020 or 2021 tax return.  If you did not claim the credit you were eligible to receive then you will have to amend the 2020 or 2021 tax return.  It cannot be claimed on a 2023 tax return.
