I messed up

When  messed up my taxes. I accidentally left out 10k in unemployment payments however as my taxes I entered as if that amount was present e.g

(federal taxes withheld 2000, unemployment income paid 10k) 

As if tax was just 10% flat. So I should have entered 20k in accordance to me listing I paid 2k income tax.

Actually numbers I believe we're 

11k unemployment income and 2.4k federal income tax paid from the 11k when I actually received around 24K in unemployment but didn't realize I had 2 claims opened and was paid from both and didn't realize the information was separate. I didn't use my 1099 I filed before by adding the numbers with a calculator. Question is I didn't receive another check from the IRS like. Most did when the law was ineffect. Is it worth amending to see if I receive more

I messed up

Hello brncgreen

I understand you filed your tax return and did not include some of your unemployment compensation.  You will want to file an amended return and include all the data from both Form 1099-Gs you received.  You will enter the Form 1099Gs separately, enter one and then click on Add another Form 1099G.

Be sure to review column A of your amended return, Form 1040X, to make sure it reflects the amounts that were refunded and received by you.

 

I hope this information is useful!
