I filed but I just received a 1099-b. The total gains is $6.34, do I need to amend?

It depends.  If the cost basis for the trade was reported to the IRS, then you won't have to amend.  If the cost basis was not reported to the IRS then they will assume the entire proceeds is a gain, and you might need to amend.

How do I know if it was reported to the IRS? I bought stock on Robinhood in March but sold it by summer and kept all the funds on my Robinhood account.
