You can do that.....but before you do....make sure you did not already receive it.  Check your online account with the IRS to see what is shown there.

Look at your 2021 Form 1040 and see if there is an amount on line 30.

Try checking your online account with the IRS (and if you filed a joint return—check for BOTH of you)

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
