Kathryn, I was in your boat too until about 2 weeks ago. Around Mid August, we finally got our check (which matched the update TT applied and showed me what they would have owed me.) I didn't do anything inside the TT s/w to get it to show what I was owed by them. It just happened to change from the original amount due to us as zero (b/c we had applied it all to this year's estimated taxes) to the amount due to us from paying UE taxes paid to Federal. The check came first, then a week later 2 letters saying the refund was on the way (one letter each... copies to my hubby vs me.)
When you reopened whatever you filed, did your refund amount go up as well?
Does anyone know if they announced whether or not UE taxes paid to us this year (2021) will also get a this same tax break? Will that relief be extended? My hubby also qualified for UE last year from June -August but they didn't pay him until March 2021. So we paid taxes on that, naturally, as we auto set it up that way.
