I had filed an amended return for 2020 and based on that, I should have been entitled to 3rd stimulus but I did not receive it

If you didn't get the 3rd stimulus it should be included on your 2021 return line 30 as the Recovery Rebate Credit.  That's the only way to claim it now.  But you now need to qualify for it based on 2021 return.  So if you made too much in 2021 you are out of luck and can't get it.  Did you file 2021 yet?

The third stimulus check is not based on your 2020 income.   It is based on your 2021 income.   Your amended 2020 return has nothing to do with whether you got the 3rd stimulus payment.

The first EIP --or stimulus check--- was issued in 2020  It was for $1200 for adults and $500 for a dependent under the age of 17.   The IRS used information from either your 2019 or 2020 tax return to issue those checks so they could send them out in a hurry.

The 2nd EIP or stimulus was issued in late 2020 or early 2021 and was $600 for adults and $600 for dependents under age 17.

If you did not receive the 1st and/or 2nd stimulus check you can get it by filing a 2020 tax return and using the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review.   It will end up on line 30 of a 2020 tax return and will be added to your refund (or reduce your tax due).

The 3rd EIP--or stimulus check-- was sent out in mid-March or later in 2021 and was for $1400 per person--adults and dependents no age limit.

If you did not get the 3rd EIP payment you can get it by filing a 2021 tax return and using the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review.   The credit will go on line 30 of your Form 1040 and will add to your refund (or reduce your tax due).

Who was eligible for the third-round Economic Impact Payment? (updated March 25, 2022)

Generally, if you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien during 2021, you were eligible for $1,400 ($2,800  for a joint return), plus $1,400 for each qualifying dependent, if you (and your spouse if filing a joint return) were not a dependent of another taxpayer on a 2020 tax return, have a valid Social Security number (SSN) (see exception when married filing jointly and exception for qualified dependents) and your adjusted gross income (AGI) did not exceed:

• $150,000 if married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower
• $112,500 if filing as head of household or
• $75,000 for eligible individuals using any other filing statuses, such as single filers and married people filing separate returns.

Payments were phased out – or reduced – above those AGI amounts. This means taxpayers did not receive a third payment if their AGI exceeded:

• $160,000 if married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower
• $120,000 if filing as head of household or
• $80,000 for eligible individuals using other filing statuses, such as single filers and married people filing separate returns.

You were not eligible for a payment if any of the following apply:

• You could be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s 2020 tax return
• You were a nonresident alien.
• You did not have a valid SSN issued to you by the due date of your tax return (including an extension to October 15 if you requested it).

Also, payments were not made to estates or trusts or for individuals who died before January 1, 2021.
