Has anyone gotten a refund yet for the unemployment tax break? I,myself, filed before the law took place and definitely should be getting something back.

I've read the IRS articles which say they will distribute the refunds May thru summer, but what does summer mean, July, August, or September? Also just curious to see if anybody has seen this in action yet or gotten any kind of refund. I want to amend but I know they keep saying not to and to wait. But how long must one wait perspectively? Also, once it's corrected, will we get notified? And will we get our refund via direct deposit or a check in the mail?

If you are eligible for the extra refund for federal tax that was withheld from your unemployment the IRS will be sending you an additional refund sometime during the next several months.  TurboTax cannot track or predict when it will be sent.

Once IRS gets to you, your money will appear. That is your notification.

There may also be a letter.

You should wait to see what the IRS does before you amend.

You only get one 1040-X e-File up until Oct 15th.
