Unfortunately you will need to amend your 2020 tax return to include your unemployment income.  All income received in 2020 must be reported on your 2020 tax return.  IRS does not allow you to add it in with the next year's tax return.  Fortunately, though, it is really easy to amend a return in TurboTax.  Here's a link with instructions:
