The text message was legit, but it was referencing an email sent the previous week regarding unemployment. The email basically said that you do not need to amend for unemployment. The IRS updated the unemployment exclusion. Normally, you would need to file an amendment to recoup the taxes paid, but the IRS said that they will issue refunds for those taxes starting in May.
