We do not see the email you received from TurboTax.  What type of funds is the email referring to?

 

If this was for the unemployment compensation exclusion on your 2020 tax return, you do Not need to file an amended return.  The IRS is calculating the tax refund for the exclusion and will be sending a refund for those eligible throughout the next few months.

See these IRS websites for information -

If the email was about the unemployment exclusion change then it said  you  "MAY" need to amend the state return depending on how they were treating this change   and the federal return but only  IF   the change makes you eligible for a credit not already claimed on the original return  HOWEVER  until the IRS has completed processed the return do not file any federal amendment since they seem to be catching these things for you.
