I have a similar case and I'm not sure what's going on. I also filed an amended return based on turbo tax's instructions. I was not only getting a refund on my unemployment taxes but once the adjustments took effect it also qualified me for EIC. The return was accepted on 4/28/21 and I was told I would receive a paper check in the mail. My child tax credit is also pending because my amended tax return still being processed. I did my research and found the same answers as all of you above and figured I'd just have to wait. Well, just last night which is roughly 15 weeks into the process, I have a direct deposit pending at my bank. The odd thing is, the amount doesn't fit for my amended return amount or child tax credit payments. I checked both portals and nothing has changed. So now I don't know what this deposit is even for. It can't be the amended return because it isn't a paper check and it definitely doesn't fit the amount of the child tax credit. I also am positive that I don't owe the IRS anything so they wouldn't have reduced the amount for that. I have no clue...
