Question

I need to amend my 2021 return because I did receive a stimulus and need to remove the $1400 credit given on my taxes. How and where do I go to amend this specific item?

The $1400 credit is shown on line 30. This is what I need to remove.

No do not amend.   You just have to wait for the IRS to fix your mistake.   By answering incorrectly about the stimulus amount you received you put an amount on line 30 of your Form 1040.   The IRS checks that line.  They know how much they sent to you.   They will reduce your refund by that amount.   This will delay your refund so expect a wait.
