Do I need to file an amendment if I accidentally claimed the recovery rebate credit?

This is only my second time filing taxes and I thought I didn't receive the $1400 stimulus but since it was taking so long I checked my bank statement and realized I actually did receive it.

The IRS knows the stimulus payment was sent to you.  They will adjust your filed tax return accordingly.  If you are still owed a tax refund it will be delayed for several weeks or longer.

You do not have to file a 2021 amended tax return.
