Deductions & credits

IRS will not begin start sending out those refunds from the unemployment exemption adjustment until May.

 

If you will qualify for a new credit, then, Yes, you need to file an amended return.  IRS will not adjust your return if you qualify for other credits, etc., only for the unemployment exemption.

 

I recommend you do file an amended return once IRS has finished processing the initial return filed.
