1040x for new credit after IRS Unemployment adjustment was paid - shows wrong information

2020 return was filed in early-March, prior to the Unemployment exclusion updates.  There was a small refund, which was paid in late-March.

Then in July, IRS sent an additional refund due to removal of my $5K of Unemployment Income (an additional $600 refund was received by direct deposit).

The reduced AGI makes me eligible for $200 Retirement Savings credit, so I need to amend to claim that.

But the 1040X generated by TurboTax is claiming BOTH the Unemployment Adjustment amount AND the Retirement Savings amount - for a total additional refund of $800, which is not correct.

Column A of the 1040X is supposed to show "Original Amount reported, or as previously adjusted".  But I do not see any way to tell the software that the IRS has already adjusted the return for the Unemployment.  I expect that I should only be claiming the additional $200 for the Retirement Savings credit.  

QUESTION -- How do I generate a 1040X with updated numbers in Column A, as they are AFTER the IRS made the Unemployment adjustment?  Or am I really supposed to claim that amount again, and let the IRS figure out how much of it they already paid to me?
