What credits are you trying to get? The new child tax credit is not for 2020---so do not amend for that. The increased CTC is only for 2021. Amending your 2020 return will not increase your 2020 child tax credit. If you received EIC on your original return the IRS will recalculate your EIC when they sort out the unemployment. If you did not receive EIC originally and think you may be able to get it now, then that is a reason to amend.
