What do you mean by help with "getting" unemployment? If you mean you need to get unemployment compensation, you have to deal with your state's bureau of unemployment for that. TurboTax is not involved in any way with helping you to obtain unemployment compensation. Your state will have a web site where you can apply for benefits. What state are you in?
If you mean you have been receiving unemployment and need to enter it on your 2020 tax return, see this:
Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return. Enter your 1099G for unemployment in Federal>Wages and Income>Unemployment
You might need to get your 1099G from the state’s unemployment site when it becomes available in January.
