You shouldn't have had to pay tax, based on the information you provided. I'm not familiar with all the details in entering data in TT, but you must have missed a question or a check box in entering the sale of your home. Have you all ready filed the return and it has been accepted by IRS?
If so, you should amend the return by filing 1040X and correct that error and get the extra tax back. Here is a link to pub 523, selling your home

It was last years return. I just happened to be looking back through my past taxes and just noticed it. Do you think I can still amend it?
Yes, you can amend it. You have 3 years from the due date of the return, or the date it was actually filed, to file an amended return. However refunds are limited to 3 years from the due date of the return.
Yes, you can still amend your 2020 tax return.
You shouldn't owe any tax on the gain from the sale of your home, unless you had to recapture depreciation. You might have had depreciation if your home was ever used as a rental, or for business use, including a home office deduction.
