If you filed your 2020 tax return before the American Rescue Plan Act was passed on March 11, 2021 you would be entitled to a refund of the federal tax paid on the first $10,200 of unemployment income, if your household income was less than $150,000. Not all states adopted the federal exemption of tax up to $10,200 of unemployment income. Initially, there were 13 states not waiving taxes on unemployment income: Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, West Virginia.
If you have not yet received your adjusted refund amount, and are unable to reach the IRS directly, you may try contacting your local Taxpayer Advocate Office for assistance.
