You don't need to do anything for Federal. State is still unknown, though.

The IRS has issued a statement for those who have already filed their tax returns including unemployment compensation - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-statement-american-rescue-plan-act-of-2021

For those who received unemployment benefits last year and have already filed their 2020 tax return, the IRS emphasizes they should not file an amended return at this time, until the IRS issues additional guidance.
