Is it too late to file for third stimulus based on 2020 taxes AND if not, is it better to file or wait for TurboTax to update based on new unemployment rules?

My 2019 income was too high to qualify for this third (2021) stimulus check.  My 2020 income is lower than the threshold, so I do indeed qualify.  But I'm also reading that one should wait to file 2020 if they received unemployment, since the first $10,200 will not be taxable.  Is it better to file today to get the third stimulus check (if it's not too late and the IRS has already submitted my 2019 numbers?) and then amend my return, OR wait?  Thanks!
