After receiving an email from turbo tax on 4/28 that I needed to amend my taxes in order to claim the additional unemployment owed to me I went and did so. It was accepted on 4/29. I have yet to receive my additional unemployment owed to me and I did not receive the CTC regardless of the fact that I am 100% qualified to recieve it. My status continues to say pending in the portal. Why would I not get this if I received a letter weeks ago saying I was eligible?? I can’t get in touch with anyone at the Irs. I need help.

    First the notice did not say you HAD to amend in fact it said the opposite ... it said you MAY  need to amend  IF  you would be qualified for a credit not already on the original return or if your state required it.   Also you should never amend a return until the original return has been fully processed.  That said there is nothing you can do now but wait for the IRS to finally process your original return and amended return ... there is no way for anyone  to speed up the process that is in motion.

    Actually YOU are wrong. It did in fact say I needed to amend and I did in fact already recieve my original refund so my original taxes were already processed

    Good you waited properly to amend  however  amended returns are taking  4 to 6 months or longer to process and there is nothing you can do to speed it up.
