Never received a call back from turbotax? I filed my amendment return beginning of September? Still no unemployment tax federal refund? This is ridiculous!

IRS stated refunds are completed and Turbotax won't help me? Anyone else still waiting on unemployment refund?

The IRS is taking more than 6 months to process an amended return and there is nothing TT can do to speed up the process.

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.  During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns.  Do not expect quick results from amending.  When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check.  They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns.  You can watch for information here:
