What is meant when someone says an acid workup?
I reacted my compound with TFA, would that be considered an acid workup?

An acid work-up is where acid, usually a mineral acid or perhaps acetic acid depending really upon how acid stable your compound is, is used to remove basic components of a reaction mixture, or to re-protonate a basic compound.

Ok, great. Is this done at the end of the reaction, at the extraction step?

Not necessarily it can mean adding acid to the reaction to quench a reactive intermediate.
