How can I know if the irs is adjusting my taxes for the unemployment tax I paid back in March? I filed single, but still have no word. I have no received a letter either.

If you have filed. The IRS will recalculate your return for the new 10,200 unemployment exemption 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.

Do you need to amend your state return?

You will not hear anything from the IRS until they have finished recalculating your tax return. That might not be until late summer, even though you filed as single.
