Amended return

I need to file an amended return (1040) for 2020 due to the Employee Retention Credit received in 2023 for 2020. I have completed it in TurboTax desktop but when I try to file it through TurboTax it is pulling up my original 1040, not the 1040-X. I can find the 1040-X in the forms section, so is that all I need to mail in (with the resulting tax due)? And my state amended (Virginia) which does not change the tax is only showing the original form with my refund showing. Do I even need to file the state "amended"?

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, you should follow these guidelines.

You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. 
The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
