Program Updater

If I have already filed and a Program Update would change my tax due or refund, will I be notified by TurboTax?

 

If not, when I access my filed return will the tax due or refund amount shown be updated to the new correct amount?

If your tax due or refund changes due to the Unemployment Income Exclusion, the IRS will automatically figure your additional credit and send it as a second payment some time after your first refund is received.

 

TurboTax will not notify you of this, as the IRS is calculating the credit.

If you open your filed return by choosing the 'Amend' option you can see if your refund has changed for updates.
