I have been patiently waiting on my unemployment exclusion refund to come in for the $10,200. I filed my taxes back in February 2021 and got my refund before they came out with the exclusion. Everything I read says NOT to file an amended return and yet I still have not received the refund that the IRS says they will send automatically if you are eligible (It's now 2022!). The IRS wrote in documetns that they completed all of the "easy" returns by last May or so and then worked on the complicated. Believe me, my return is simple and and my AGI is welllll below the $150,000. Everything I read says do not amend yet here it is 2022 and I still have not received my federal refund for the $10,200 exclusion. Should I go ahead and amend the return? I don't see where to amend it in Turbotax Deluxe as it just says the same thing, the IRS will do it. I have my account set up on the IRS website so I can review all my payments, refunds, etc. and it's not missing in the direct deposit lalaland. Should I file an amended return anyway? Soon I will be filing my 2022 taxes in another month and a half. Please help. P.S. I live in Hawaii but that shouldn't matter for the Federal refund due.
