Many have and many more have not ... you will just need to wait your turn.  The expect these corrections to take all summer.

The tax software you used to prepare your tax return is not a factor in how soon you will receive that extra refund.   They are starting on the easier ones and working their way though them to more complex returns.

 

The IRS began to send out the additional refund checks for tax withheld from unemployment in May.   If you are eligible for the extra refund for federal tax that was withheld from your unemployment the IRS will be sending you an additional refund sometime during the next several months.  TurboTax cannot track or predict when it will be sent.  The IRS has not provided a way for you to track it, so all you can do is wait for the refund to arrive.
