I filed my return in February and owed $235. In April it was reported if you paid taxes on your unemployment, it would be refunded. What is the status of these refunds. After recalculating my taxes I'm owed $939 plus the $235 I payed?

The IRS began to send out the additional refund checks for tax withheld from unemployment in May. If you are eligible for the extra refund for federal tax that was withheld from your unemployment the IRS will be sending you an additional refund sometime during the next several months. TurboTax cannot track or predict when it will be sent. The IRS has not provided a way for you to track it, so all you can do is wait for the refund to arrive.
