If you filed a tax return without including the unemployment you received in 2020 you need to amend your tax return. That unemployment was supposed to be entered. It is true that the first $10,200 of your unemployment is not taxed on your federal return, but any amount over that first $10,200 is still taxable. If your return has been fully processed, amend it to enter your 1099G. The software is up to date and will automatically calculate how much -- if any-- of your unemployment is taxable.
Select your tax year for amending instructions:

You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.
Some states will mail out the 1099G. Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site.
Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment
Go through the screens very carefully, making sure to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.
