Should i have received my taxes check for the taxes they took out on me for unployment

Did you file a 2020 return ?   If so was there a negative amount  on the Sch 1 line 8 ? 

 

Did you get the original refund back yet ?     Was the amount on line 16 of the form 1040?

You do not say when you filed your tax return.  Did you file before the tax law changed to exclude the first $10,200 of unemployment being taxed on a federal return?  When did you prepare your tax return?

 

The IRS is recalculating refunds for people whose AGI is $150K or below and who filed before the tax law that changed the amount of unemployment that is taxable on a federal return became effective.   

 

 

The IRS began to send out the additional refund checks for tax withheld from unemployment in May.  The refunds are being sent out in batches—starting with the simplest returns first.   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.  The IRS has not provided a way for you to track it, so all you can do is wait for the refund to arrive.
