What type of tax overpayment are you referring to for tax year 2020? Taxes withheld, Tax Credits, unemployment compensation?

The IRS has stated - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-completes-automatic-corrections-of-tax-year-2020-accounts-related-to-unemployment-compensation-exclusion-12-million-refunds-issued

The Internal Revenue Service recently completed the final corrections of tax year 2020 accounts for taxpayers who overpaid their taxes on unemployment compensation they received in 2020.

If a taxpayer is eligible for the unemployment compensation exclusion and their account was not corrected by the IRS, they may need to file an amended 2020 tax return to claim the exclusion and any applicable non-refundable or refundable credits impacted by the exclusion.

Taxpayers should not file an amended return if they previously filed one claiming the exclusion. For more information about this, including eligibility requirements, taxpayers should read the 2020 Unemployment Compensation Exclusion FAQs on IRS.gov.

So if you need to amend the 2020 return for the unemployment compensation exclusion, see this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=lcpaaxsm
