increased refund

I filed my returns on 3/22 and it was accepted overnight.  I opened Turbo Tax on 3/27 and multiple updates occurred.  Now my federal refund is about $300 higher.  This appears to be due to the Relief Act.  Will the IRS automatically adjust my return and give the higher refund or am I going to need to amend my taxes?

Did you have a 1099-G for unemployment?

 

The $10,200 unemployment retroactive to 2020 was signed into law.

If you already filed - do not amend. See this:
