What about the payment I sent to the IRS with the initial tax return? Will their recalculation also include refunding me that amount?
@LauraC1 You don't necessarily get back the full amount that you paid with your return. You will get a refund of the tax on up to $10,200 of your unemployment. The amount of the refund depends on what tax bracket you are in, and other factors. The $300 that you paid with your tax return (according to your other posts) is not something separate. It's part of the total tax that you paid. If the refund for your unemployment is less than the $300 that you paid with your return, you will only get back part of the $300. If the refund for your unemployment is more than $300, you will get back the $300 and more. The IRS knows that you paid the $300, and will take it into consideration. What you see now in TurboTax doesn't matter. The IRS is looking at the tax return that you filed and the total amount of tax that you paid, including the $300. They are not looking at TurboTax when they recalculate your tax return.
