Do not amend your return to get the unemployment tax credit. The IRS is processing those refunds and sending them to taxpayers. Amending your return will make it take much longer.
You do not pay to amend a return unless you added something that was not on the original return. Some people accidentally add MAX, Audit Defense, or TurboTax Live. If you did need to amend, you would just remove any added services first.
Refund transfer is only available for the original return. Since amend is free, there is no need for refund transfer on the amended return. If you amend and want extra services, then you pay those with a credit card.
