I live in Wisconsin. Do i need to amend my taxes to get the unemployment tax refund? I already have my tax refund?

No. Your Wisconsin return included the necessary unemployment income changes when you filed. See the Wisconsin Department of Revenue news page for more information.

No it did not. I filed right away. Before any of this was even taking place

Did you read the statement from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue? - https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/TaxPro/2021/news-2021-ARP-Impact.aspx

 

The federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2), signed into law on March 11, 2021, allows an exclusion of up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation (UC) on the 2020 federal income tax return. This federal law does not apply for Wisconsin tax purposes.

 

• If you already filed your 2020 Wisconsin income tax return, and are amending your federal return solely to exclude UC, do NOT amend your 2020 Wisconsin return because there is no change to the amount of taxable income or tax due to Wisconsin.
  
  
• If you have not filed your 2020 Wisconsin return, you must add the amount of UC excluded on your federal return on lines 2h, 2i, or 2j of Wisconsin Schedule I. This schedule determines the federal adjusted gross income using the Internal Revenue Code adopted for Wisconsin.
