Right of claim.

[bear1976]

Was overpaid in 2010 for unemployment. but repayment was made in 5 different years.   I never got any statements to claim this at the end of the years for tax deduction.  Can i add up all the monetary value over the years i paid it totaling over 3406.13 and doing a right of claim this year?

No. Each repayment would have to be reported in the year it occurred.  Anything older than 2021 is too old to amend.  Repayments of less than $3000 in any particular year might have been partly deductible in 2017 and earlier, but after 2018, only payments of more than $3000 in the same year are eligible for an adjustment.   Unless you paid more than $3000 in 2021, 2022, 2023, or 2024, you won't be able to do anything about the repayment.
