Ok ... yes you may have needed to amend to get credits not already reported on the original return HOWEVER you should never amend a return until the IRS has finished processing it. The first thing you are asked when you start the amendment process is if you already got the original refund ... if you say no the program tells you to wait.
For those whose original return had unemployment payments on them the IRS is automatically fixing them and sending the balance of the refund based on the change. This very unique tax year you could actually get 3 separate payments as the return is processed 3 times ... the original refund, the corrected refund and finally the amended refund.
