Hi,

  I like other taxpayers paid you too much money.   I was on unemployment last year just got my refund but I can see no credit for that I need this fixed asap.

You paid who too much money?  Turbo Tax or the IRS?  What credit are you looking for?  The new 10,200 unemployment exemption?

 

If you filed before the $10,200 unemployment exclusion, the IRS will recalculate your return for you. There is no need for taxpayers to file an amended return unless the calculations make the taxpayer newly eligible for additional federal credits and deductions not already included on the original tax return.

You may need to amend your state return

Hi

Yes I overpaid you.  And my refund finally arrived and its the same.  So I don't think it was amended

You didn't pay me anything.  I am another user like you.  You mean you overpaid the Turbo Tax fees?

If you filed before the new 10,200 exemption then keep waiting for the IRS to adjust your return for the unemployment exemption.  They will automatically adjust it and send you the new amount.

there is no credit. if you qualify some of your unemployment becomes non-taxable.- bigger refund or smaller amount due.   do you live in a state with an income tax because they're different

for the following states, no amended return is required

some tax UC - no exemption  

some always exempted UC

some will make the refund automatically

 

some require an amended return to get back the state taxes paid on the exempt UC
