I don't understand what you mean by "deducted the $10,200 unemployment compensation." What did you deduct it from? Do you mean that the amount of unemployment compensation that you entered in TurboTax was $10,200 less than you actually received? If that's what you did, you probably did get a refund that you were not entitled to, and will have to pay back some or all of it, and possibly pay more tax in addition. You were supposed to enter the full amount of unemployment compensation that you received, as shown in box 1 of your Form 1099-G. Either TurboTax or the IRS would calculate the $10,200 exclusion.
You said you received a refund. Do you mean the regular refund from your tax return, on Form 1040 line 35a? Or do you mean that you got an additional refund for the unemployment exclusion because the IRS recalculated your tax?
- When did you file your tax return?
- What is the exact amount in box 1 of your Form 1099-G for unemployment?
- What are the exact amounts on Schedule 1 lines 7 and 8 of your tax return?
- What is the exact amount on your Form 1040 line 11?
