Tax return - adding previous years expences

in Cutting tax
Hi All,
As per the title, on my tax return how do I add previous years expenses that i missed off the previous tax returns. Is there a specific section for previous years or does this need to be added when setting up the form initially?
In particular I need to claim the working from home allowance for the last 2 years and mileage tax relief from 2018/19 and 2020/21 (employer only refunds 25%).
Thanks for any advice you can give.

You can't claim them like that.
If there are errors in your previous returns you need to make a claim for overpayment relief for 2018:19 and 2019:20.

"You can make a change to your tax return 72 hours (3 days) after you’ve filed it, for example because you made a mistake."
I did that one last November.
