An amended return (Form 1040X) only show the differences. So, if you originally return indicated a refund of $500 and the amendment shows a $300 refund, you would receive a total of $800. But as stated above, you don't have to amend if the only difference is the unemployment exclusion. The IRS is manually processing those returns and issuing additional or adjusted refunds for returns that were filed before the legislative changes were made.
It is going to take awhile to get 2020 tax returns settled, so be patient while tax refunds pieces are issued over the coming the months.
