You need not worry about just leaving it off. Your history with the IRS will show the standard deduction was taken in 2020. Even if it does result in a notice asking for additional information, you can simply state in the response that you took the standard deduction for which the refund is applicable and it would be over at that point, other than perhaps a thank you for your explanation from the IRS (just don't hold your breath waiting for it).
Also, should a notice ever come, which is highly doubtful, enclose a copy of the page of your 2020 return showing the standard deduction taken that would add evidence to your reply.
