After you file

It depends on when you filed (before or after the new law and the TurboTax program updates) as to whether the new tax law was taken into account in your return calculations.

The new law excludes up to $10,200 of the unemployment income per taxpayer from taxation, and many folks who previously filed before the new law and had unemployment income will be due a refund.

If you filed prior to the new law, and the "up to" $10,200 in unemployment income per taxpayer was not excluded, then see this:

The IRS is processing the refunds due to the unemployment income exclusion on the simplest returns first.

"The IRS plans to issue the next set of refunds in mid-June. The review of returns and processing corrections will continue during the summer as the IRS continues to review the simplest returns and then turns to more complex returns."

"Taxpayers will receive letters from the IRS, generally within 30 days of the adjustment, informing them of what kind of adjustment was made (such as refund, payment of IRS debt payment or payment offset for other authorized debts) and the amount of the adjustment."
