as i just finished up my state taxes i noticed my fed refund amount is different than from what i filed for. do i have to file a amended return?

How do I fix (amend) my taxes. IRS said there was a mistake.  I was supposed to be getting refund now it says I owe.  I’m on unemployment and in poverty

It depends.

Did you have unemployment income included in your original return as filed?

If so, you do not need to amend your return.  

Assuming you filed your income tax return before the American Rescue Act was passed, you do not need to do anything.  The IRS will be refunding affected taxpayers for the taxes paid on the first $10,200 of unemployment income if you met the requirements as detailed in the link below. 

Unemployment claimed on returns already filed.
