Do I need to amend my 2020 taxes?

I submitted my return through turbotax on February 12th and it was accepted. Whenever I check the status of my return through the IRS, it still says it's being processed. I later realized that I entered the incorrect amount when it asked how much money I received for the first stimulus check. I entered $600, but actually received the full $1,200. I'm guessing this might be affecting the delay in receiving my refund. Do I need to amend my return to fix that error?

No do not amend.  The IRS will adjust your refund.  Did you have the $600 on line 30?  They will take that off your refund since you already got it.
