Wait----you did what? You filed a 2020 tax return and used a 2019 W-2 on it? That was all wrong. A 2019 W-2 should have been put on a 2019 tax return. Did you use online TurboTax and file that incorrect 2020 return using 2019 income on it? Did you e-file? Was the return accepted?
And then you filed an amended return to include a 1099G for unemployment received in 2020? You did that in June 2021? it is taking the IRS at least six months to process amended tax returns so you cannot expect results yet from that amended return. Did you remove the incorrect 2019 income that was on that return---or did you just skip over that part?
The IRS might catch the error you made when you entered incorrect 2019 income on the 2020 return---which will likely delay processing more. All you can do now is wait for them to process the return, and see if they correct your mistake. If they do not correct it, you might have to amend again, but do not do that until they finish processing the amended return you sent in.
Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return. During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns. Do not expect quick results from amending. When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:

Post back at a later time when the IRS has finished with the amended return you sent them. You will probably need more help.
