It depends on your income, your tax withholding and any credits and deductions that you have @zhoubolin.
The IRS gets a copy of the 1099-G. If you get a bigger refund than you are supposed to because you did not report unemployment benefits, then you will probably be audited and will have to pay it back with penalty and interest.
If you did not have any tax withheld on unemployment, you probably will not get a larger refund by including unemployment.
