The IRS has announced that they will correct returns impacted by unemployment payments and issue refunds starting in May.
It depends. As far as the unemployment payments go, there is a provision recently passed by the American Rescue Plan that will exclude up to $10,200 or $20,400 if filing Married Filing Jointly. This adjustment will be made automatically by the IRS without need to amend your return unless there are calculations make the taxpayer newly eligible for additional federal credits and deductions not already included on the original tax return.
Because of COVID 19 and all the other changes that are occurring, you may expect some delay in processing your return. Check back with the IRS periodically here to check the status of your return.
