I filed my tax return a couple of weeks ago and when I opened up my turbotax app on my computer I saw that it had gone up but I haven't changed anything. Is there something I can do to get the bigger refund?

Did you include a 1099-G for unemployment comp? The program has been updated to reflect the recent $10,200 deduction for that. However, you do not need to amend for Federal.
