How do I amend my 2020 taxes in turbo tax? unfortunately, it looks as though I can not amend past 2021. Any help would be greatly appreciated

To claim a refund for a previous tax year, you’re typically required to file an amended return within three years of the original filing date or within two years of the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. Therefore, you cannot amend your 2020 tax return unless, for example, you filed it late, and made payments within the past two years that you believe were in error.

Sorry---you cannot use TT to amend 2020 now.  It is too late.  TT no longer supports 2020 software.  And it is too late to get a better refund by amending a 2020 return.
