I claimed that I didn't get the 3rd stimulus check when I actually did. How do I amend that?

The IRS will make any corrections before sending out your refund. Unfortunately, this will cause a delay in processing your 2021 return.

No do not amend. You just have to wait for the IRS to fix your mistake. By answering incorrectly about the stimulus amount you received you put an amount on line 30 of your Form 1040. The IRS checks that line. They know how much they sent to you. They will reduce your refund by that amount. This will delay your refund so expect a wait.
