Hello dessybeauty21
I understand it can be frustrating waiting for your additional tax refund!
First, you'll want to review your return and confirm you included the unemployment compensation on your tax return. It would appear on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 7. If it was included, and no exclusion on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 8, then you do not need to amend, the IRS is automatically adjusting the returns.
The IRS has said that payments will continue "throughout the summer," which means that unless we hear something else, payments could continue through September 22nd.
You may request a tax transcript that would reflect if the IRS has made changes to your filed tax return. There are different types of transcripts, I recommend the Record of Account Transcript.

Here is a link to check the exclusion amount you would be eligible.

If you did not include the unemployment compensation on your tax return, then you would need to amend.

How can I check to make sure I added my unemployment compensation on my amended tax return
Hello,
You can review your amended tax return, Form 1040X, for your unemployment compensation. The taxable portion of your unemployment compensation will be on Line 1 Column B.
You will also now see the Unemployment Compensation, it would appear on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 7. and the exclusion on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 8.
Hope this information is helpful!

How do I know if it has my unemployment compensation on it because I don’t see it on the form
Hello,
Your amended return, Form 1040X, would have an amount on Line 1 Column B.
If the unemployment compensation was on your return, it would appear on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 7, and the exclusion on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 8.
I hope this information is helpful!
It has an amount on it but I don’t think it’s my unemployment amount
You can compare your Form 1099G with your unemployment compensation to your Schedule 1. The amount from Form 1099G Box 1 should be reported on your Schedule 1 Line 7.
I hope you find this information helpful!

[PII removed]
Hello
You file an individual tax return, Form 1040. You do not file an unemployment tax return. The amounts from your Form 1099G issued to you by the state that issued your unemployment is then reported to the IRS on your individual tax return, Form 1040. You included a picture of Form 1040 page 2. Please include picture of Form 1040 page 1.
Thanks!
@Dessybeauty21 You better delete that 1040 screen shot. It has your bank info showing on it. The whole world can see it. Someone can access your bank account with it! If you post anymore pictures be sure to cover up any personal info like your name, address, ssn etc. This is a public user forum and it in NOT SAFE!
Your unemployment compensation should be on 1040 Schedule 1 line 7. The exclusion will be on Schedule 1 Line 8 as a negative number. The result flows to Form 1040 Line 8.
Hello,
You need to look at the very first post in the thread for the information on confirming your unemployment was included on your amended tax return. It would appear on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 7. The exclusion would appear on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 8.
Hope you find this information helpful!
