I log in my refund amount in the left corner has increased by $800 compared to what I recieved originally. Unemployment tax break? If so, when will turbo tax update?

I filed taxes in Feb 2021 before the unemployment tax break was passed. When I log in I see my original refund amount, but in the upper left hand corner my refund has increased by $800 . When will turbo tax update? Will I receive any money and if so will it come on my turbo card?

Just keep waiting. The IRS is sending them out in batches over the summer.

See IRS article May 14, 2021
