After you file

OK we will need to know how you entered the unemployment.  It should be on a 1099G.  What line did it show up on your tax return?  Did you enter it like a W2?  

 

Did the IRS send you a letter about it?  Why did you reach out to the IRS?  Did you call them?  

 

Be sure to save a copy of your original return before you start the amended return. The Amended return will overwrite the original return.  How to Amend the current year
