How do I find out if my 2020 return was automatically amended by the IRS because of my unemployment benefits of 10,200?

I filed my 2020 tax return before the unemployment relief act was passed.  How do I find out if the irs has amended my return?

You probably won't know until you get your refund. Tax return processing is delayed this year. The IRS has around 12 million tax returns that have been caught in a processing backlog created by the pandemic, which shut down the IRS for a time. They also have millions of returns that have to be manually verified. Americans should see their refunds in the coming months. "We would hope to be through this backlog by the summer," said IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig.

  •  Keep checking the IRS Where's My Refund page to see if your refund status has been updated.

Do I have to pay the IRS the 700.00 that my tax return (filed 2/21) says I owe? With the 10,200 amended AGI I won't owe the IRS?

Thank you sooo much for responding

To avoid penalty and late fees, you should have paid with your return before May 17th.  If the unemployment exclusion brings you a refund, the IRS will re calculate your taxes and send it to you.  See IRS link here:  No amendment
