The question about state taxes paid for 2020 simply means the balance due or other state or local income tax that was paid in 2021 for your 2020 tax return.  Your 1040-X would be the final return you filed for 2020.  If you also have a tax balance due on that return, in addition to your original return for your state tax, you would include both.
