How did you file your 2019 tax return? Was it accepted by the IRS and did you receive your refund? You cannot amend until you have. Amending is changing a previously filed and accepted tax return.
Did you file using the online version or do you have the CD/download software installed on your Mac or Windows computer and filled form that?
As I said above - you cannot "open" a file without the software installed on your computer.
It is not clear just how you filed (or if you even have filed) and what the problem with the EIC is.
