I received my refund but it wasn't adjusted for the unemployment income tax break. How do I get my money?

Here is why you do NOT amend your federal return for unemployment:

Please read this very recent news from the IRS:

The adjustment is done separately, and refunds will take several weeks (or months) to send out.  See this:
