I received $2484 in benefits in 2020, then was required to make payments in 2021 of $2070 which I did. Will I get a credit for those payments? I have not received any forms from the State stating I have a zero balance, but I did confirm it with them by phone today.

Yes, you will get a deduction from your income for 2021 for the amount you repaid in 2021.

All you need to do is select the following:

Federal
Income
Show more next to Unemployment
Start next to Unemployment and Paid family leave
Walk through the steps to enter your 1099-G for unemployment, but don't enter anything.
Keep going until you get to the screen that says Other Uncommon Unemployment Benefits. Select yes to did you repay benefits for years prior to 2021.
