That look back to 2019 only applies to the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit. Not the 2020 federal tax return per se.

Only if your 2019 AGI was more than your 2020 AGI would it be necessary to amend the 2020 return to see if you get an increase in the Earned Income Tax Credit for tax year 2020.
