Deductions & credits

@whphillips - you would not complete an amendment.   The IRS has very specific rules on how to take a credit for this income.  TaxAct has a very good explanation and instructions on how to take a credit on your 2025 (yes 2025) tax return.

Since most do not itemize, Method 2 would be the way to go in this case. Where it states "2024" replace that with "2025"
