If you qualified for Earned Income Credit it was automatically included as part of your refund. Amending your return will not help you get a faster refund. Amended returns cannot be e-filed; they have to be mailed. Amended returns take MONTHS to process, and right now, the IRS is not even opening the mail. You only amend a return that has been fully processed with mistakes or missing information---so amending would make no sense at all for your situation.
Sorry---the IRS has been backlogged and refunds are often taking longer. All you can do is watch the IRS site that updates once a day for the status of your refund.
TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer. Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic.
Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.
