Hi,
I lived and worked in Florida in 2019 before I was let go. When the pandemic hit I was able to collect unemployment from my former job for just a few months (FL is super restrictive). Their system for UI was a disaster and did not differentiate residents and non-residents. They withheld 10% of my benefits every week for taxes - so I got $90 a week from them. However, I was living in California the entirety of 2020.
Since then, I have not worked so my income was under the $12,400 cut off.
My question is, how on earth do I file this? Do I file the taxes on a CA state return, even though I didn't make enough (and CA doesnt tax UI)? Do I file federally? Do I pay extra to file in FL even though I haven't been there in 16 months, just to get my withheld UI back? And where does the stimulus and extra federal UI come in?
