Unemployment may not be taxable in your state.
It is taxable on the Federal return but is not taxable in some states.
It is taxable here in NY. I paid both federal and state taxes on my unemployment benefits. But Turbotax doesn't seem to recognize the state taxes I paid when tallying the amount I paid for the year. It is showing that I *owe* state taxes but I should not owe--I should be getting a return since I paid taxes on all of my income in 2020.
But you may not have had enough withheld to cover the actual taxes due. NY has a sliding tax rate, based upon your total income
True--but my issue is that the math in Turbotax doesn't add up.
If I add up the amount I paid in state taxes on my W-2s + my unemployment 1099, that total is *more* than what Turbotax shows that I paid on my state return. The totals should be the same... How can I fix this?
