Amend 2020 tax

I already got my 2020 tax refund but I want to amend it electronically . Irs fix math error on original return because I incorrectly claim the recovery credit . Can I still amend online with TurboTax ? When I sign in and follow the process to amend tax , the beginning reflected my original refund amount before the irs fixed it . What should I do?

    If the IRS already made the change then you do  not amend.   Cancel the amend and just edit and change the original return to match the IRS changes.

    Then make the IRS change to the original as I said before amending.
