So, we had to replace our liner this year and just recently filled pool. My TA is 220, down from 230. I have my return pointed up. My ph is still above 8.0. I've added 59 oz of acid 2 times..should I wait until TA is in normal range before adding more acid. How long might it take to get the TA normal?

Your pH will rise with your high TA. So each time the pH reaches 8, lower it to 7.4 with muriatic acid. Over time the TA will fall.
At the start this may be as often as every day.
Or, if you want to spend a day lower your TA more aggressively, follow Lower Total Alkalinity - Trouble Free Pool
