No, you do not have to amend your 2019 taxes now. You can amend it next year.

Generally, you must file an amendment Form 1040X within three years from the date you filed your original tax return or within two years of the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. Therefore, technically, you have until the year 2023 to amend your 2019 tax return.
