The IRS is severely backlogged. If your return is in the error department then a human has to deal with it, and they are short-staffed. So, sorry, it might take longer than you were told. No you cannot speed them up, nor can TurboTax speed them up for you. When they resolve the issue, they will send you a letter explaining any reduction in your refund. You will be able to dispute the change if you believe the IRS is mistaken.
Meanwhile, if you do not know what the error is, there are a couple of very common mistakes for you to look for.
Check lines 28 and 30 of your Form 1040. Line 28 is for the child tax credit. If you entered an incorrect amount for the advance child tax credit payments sent to you between July and December, then that would cause a problem that will result in a reduced refund. Line 28 should only show the remaining amount of child tax credit you can receive. You had to enter the total amount already received from letter 6419---and if you had a joint return that meant adding the amounts from letters sent to both spouses.
Line 30 is for the 3rd EIP ("stimulus") payment of $1400 per person that was sent out in 2021. Letter 6475 was sent to each spouse and you had to enter whether you received that $1400 per person accurately. If you already received $1400 per person then your line 30 should have been blank.
There are, of course, many other possible errors that could be causing the delay for your refund. Only the IRS can tell you what the error is, and only the IRS can tell you when you refund will be issued.
