Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That is a great question!  To see your new adjusted AGI, simply log into your turbotax return on a computer and the tax return will automatically adjust to reflect your new AGI.  If you look at what you originally filed and the adjustment the IRS sent you, that should be your new refund or lowered balance due.  For example, you were due a $3K  refund when you originally filed and the IRS has sent you another $1K as your unemployment adjustment.  When you open up your return again you should see the new refund is $4K.

 

However, 1 word of caution here, if your new refund amount, or lowered balance due doesn't match what you received from the IRS, there could be other credits that you qualify for that the IRS didn't adjust.  For example, the IRS has said that if you had the earned income tax credit on your original return and now qualify for a higher amount, they will adjust this.  But if your income was too high on your original filing and you didn't qualify for that credit they will not automatically give it to you now.  You may have to file an amended return to get this credit.

 

CA does not tax unemployment benefits but Kansas does.  So there is no reason to amend your CA return.
