Ok ... First if you know you will NOT owe when the unemployment situation is handled then you can ignore the bills you are being sent while your return is still in the system somewhere. When the dust clears the balance due plus any penalties/interest will be reversed. Or you can try calling the number on the notice and let them know what is happening.
NEXT ... the IRS was automatically changing the unemployment situation for everyone BUT your return didn't get the the correction department UNTIL your original return was processed which was when the first IRS bill arrived. Now that the original return was finally processed ( returns with refunds had priority over returns with balance dues) it will go to the correction department and they are overwhelmed and running way way behind. Returns are taking 4 to 6 months to make it thru that process and there is no way to track it so all you can do is wait for them to get to your return in the backlog.
You should NOT have amended the return so it is currently unknown if putting an amended return into the system will delay things further. Amended returns can only be processed after the original return & the corrected situation have been completed AND amended returns are also taking 4 - 6 months (or longer) to process as well. Again all you really can do is wait.
