Did you file a tax return with unemployment that had tax withheld? Did you file before the new tax law went into effect? If so, you may get back some of that federal tax that was withheld.

But TurboTax cannot track or predict when the IRS will send it to you. The IRS is handling it, not TurboTax. The IRS began to send out payments recently and will continue to do during the next several months.
