I need to file an amended 2022 return to remove the fire damages award that I had received. That income is no longer taxable per HR5863, the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act.  Does the IRS need any special keywords, etc to get them to recognize why the amended return is being filed?

Yes! When you file an amended return, you list the reason why. Your words should include the "new law HR 5863".
