TLDR : Answer Summary
To switch from an Amnesty visa (originally a Non-B visa) to a Married visa in Thailand, you will need to visit your local Thai Immigration Office with your Thai husband and prepare several documents. Required documents typically include your passport, your Non-B visa, marriage certificate, husband's ID card, house registration, application form, photos, and processing fee. Note that the specific requirements may vary by immigration office, and you may need to apply for a 90-day Non-O visa based on marriage before obtaining the one-year extension.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Okay, whether you can go from a covid extension on a cancelled Non-B extension to yearly extension based on marriage to a thai is totally going to be up to the immigration office you deal with .
SO that means, take your thai husband, your marriage license, your passport and slog on out to your immigration office and see what's what.
There is a good chance they won't let you go straight to a year marriage extension and instead have to apply for a new in country 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage FIRST then after you get that get the marriage extension.
BUT
The only people who are going to be able to tell you with 100% accuracy is the immigration office you deal with

The amnesty extension was over long ago, you are likely on an unable to travel due to Covid extension.

I would recommend as step 1 you go to the local Thai Immigration Office and ask for a list of the documentation you'll need to submit with your visa application when you have a Thai husband ...
As an example you could look at my recent post on what I submitted at the Chiang Mai office for my 'Thai Wife' visa ... the required documentation is not the same for a 'Thai Husband' and varies office-to-office ...
Mal ********
I know these things ... I recommended going to her local office for a definition of the required documentation, noted the requirements vary office to office, and referenced my post as an example ...
I have clarified my comment and will stop contributing to this page ...
Sadly, the requirements for a FEMALE foreigner to get a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national is a lot different than a MALE foreigner to get a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national. Plus, Phuket and Chaing Mai are completely different in how they do the extension of stays

You should be able to go from an 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 to a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national. Different immigration offices will ask for different documents, but all immigration offices will require the following:
1. Your passport and a copy of:
- Your data ("picture") page
- Your Non-B visa
- Your entry stamp
- Your departure card
2. Your husband PHYSICALLY next to you, and
- His ID card and a copy of her ID card
- His housebook, and a copy of the first page
3. Marriage certificate (either the rose border certificate, OR a translated copy from your home country)
4. The application form
5. 2x passport pictures
6. 1,900 THB for the processing fee.
There is *NO* financial requirements for a one year extension based on marriage to a Thai male.
Different immigration offices have different requirements, and this may include:
- A copy of the TM30 filed where you live
- A hand drawn map to your house
- Pictures of you and your wife in various locations in the house (front of the house/ condo, in all rooms, etc)
- Witnesses or interviews with neighbors
- Rental contract (if renting property or a condo)
