Unemployment tax refund

Hi there!

 

If you haven't filed yet and are wondering what the refund will be- 

 

Turbotax has a cool calculator that calculates how much your refund will probably be its at this link below:

Its called Taxcaster.  Quickly estimate your 2020 tax refund with TaxCaster. This free tax calculator helps you see how much you may get back, or what you may owe, before you file your tax return.

 

If you have already filed and you want to know the status of a refund in process:

The IRS has said that Unemployment Refund payments will continue "throughout the summer," which means that unless we hear something else, payments could continue through September 22nd. 

Here is some information that may help you regarding payments for additional refund due:

If the reduction in taxable income did not result in additional refund due for all taxpayers. If you need help determining if you should be receiving extra funds, do not hesitate to reach out to our Live Help from your TurboTax home screen! One of our agents can take a look at your return and help you determine how much you should be expecting to receive.

If you would like to contact the IRS about the status of your refund, you can try these instructions:

The IRS telephone number is 1-800-829-1040, and they are available from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The best time to call is early in the morning.

The first question the automated system will ask you is to choose your language.

Once you’ve set your language, do NOT choose Option 1 (regarding refund info). Choose option 2 for “Personal Income Tax” instead.

Next, press 1 for “form, tax history, or payment”.

Next, press 3 “for all other questions.”

Next, press 2 “for all other questions.”

When the system asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, do NOT enter anything.

After it asks twice, you will be prompted with another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.

Finally, press 4 for all other inquiries. The system should then transfer you to an agent.
