Do I need to amend my tax return to receive Unemployment Tax Relief Refund

I did my tax return on 02/28/2021 before the American Rescue Plan. Turbo tax said that I did not have to do anything more and the IRS will figure out how much I should be refunded. I'm looking back at my tax documents from Turbo Tax and I do not see a 1099-G in my documents but I did remember filling out unemployment information, which negatively affected my return amount (1040, line 25b).
On my 1040, schedule form 1, under Unemployment compensation, there is an amount from my unemployment.
Is this sufficient information for the IRS to refund me the tax waived for $10,200, or do I need to amend my tax return? Turbo Tax has not updated the refund/due amount for me, but has for other users.

I live in WA, if that helps.

Do I need to amend my tax return to receive Unemployment Tax Relief Refund

Hello @hungaud 

 

Thank you for reaching out to us! 

 

The 1099-G form will not show among the return documents as it will not be sent with the return since the IRS does receive a copy of the form. 

The unemployment compensation will show on Schedule 1 line 7. So based on the information you provided seems that you reported the unemployment correctly. 

 

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.

in certain cases an amended return is needed to get the correct adjustment to your refund see the IRS article below.
