Hoping someone can help me. In 2022, I received $3,300 in unemployment benefits due to being laid off. Now, TWO YEARS LATER, the state is coming back to me saying, as I received a severance package, I was not eligible for those benefits. And, not only am I required to pay them back, I must pay back the full $3,300. However, I paid federal taxes on that $3,300. Unfortunately for me, my income was much higher in 2022 than it is today. Is there anyway I can recoup the taxes I paid on that $3,300? Thank you.
