IRS website for unemployment compensation exclusion FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/2020-unemployment-compensation-exclusion-faqs-topic-g-receiving-a-refun...

Q2. If the exclusion adjustment results in an overpayment (refund), how will it be issued to me? (added April 29, 2021)

A2. Any refund resulting from the exclusion adjustment will be issued to you in one of the following ways:

  • If we have bank account information for you on file, we'll issue your refund by direct deposit to that bank account.
     
    • Note: If your account is no longer valid or is closed, the bank will return your refund to the IRS and a check will be mailed to the address we have on file for you.
       
  • If we don't have any bank account information for you, then we'll mail your refund to the address we have on file for you.

First if you can’t verify your identity using the online system you can have a code snail mail to you instead.

 

Otherwise you can check your bank account for any deposits from the IRS.
