I called the IRS today to find out why I haven't received my refund on the Unemployment Tax. I was told I will not receive one because the Earned Income Credit ate up my refund. How is that even possible? I had taxes taken out of my unemployment and of my paychecks. I am kind of lost as he said you won't get back the amount of taxes taken out on your unemployment its based on overall taxes paid. Got to love the government!
