I filed my 2020 taxes online and now I need to amend them and take a special credit. What desktop version can I use to do it?

Any of the 2020 desktop editions can be used to amend a tax return originally completed and filed using the 2020 online editions.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2020 tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-2020-return/L3XdA1Pw8_US_en_US?uid=l95tpf53

Thank you. And if I need to amend 2019 and 2021 as well, do I need to buy three different desktop versions of Turbotax or buying 2021 desktop version is sufficient to amend tax returns for three years?

Each tax year is a separate TurboTax program so if you need to amend a 2019 return you would need the 2019 desktop edition to amend. The 2021 desktop edition can Only amend a filed 2021 tax return.
