I entered Turbo Tax after filing and the refund amount has changed. It appears that there now an amount of unemployment that is not taxable. The answer to a similar question said the IRS would automatically do the adjustment but that did not happen in my case. Do I need to file an amended return to get the balance of the refund due me?

Thanks for the quick response. I already got my refund ant the lower amount. I'll wait to see if I get the balance. The time line in the article you sent was very helpful!
