Unemployment refund

[Colorfulgirlizcool]

I have not received my 10,000 break from unemployment. How can I go about receiving that? It’s been a few months and I am eligible

Hello, 

Per the IRS website they are still processing refunds. If you haven't received it yet, don't worry! Most taxpayers are not required to amend their tax return to receive the refund. Here is some additional information from the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-continues-unemployment-compensation-adjustments-prepares-another-1-....

Also, each state has separate guidelines for receiving a refund. Follow this link to find guidance for your state if you were required to submit a state return: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/help/do-i-need-to-amend-my-state-return/00/2134732

I hope this helps.

So far the IRS has issued over 8 million of those “extra” refunds for tax on unemployment.   The IRS has not announced when the next batch will be sent out, but they are still working on them.

The IRS is recalculating refunds for people whose AGI is $150K or below and who filed before the tax law that changed the amount of unemployment that is taxable on a federal return became effective.   

The IRS began to send out the additional refund checks for tax withheld from unemployment in May.  The refunds are being sent out in batches—starting with the simplest returns first.   If you are eligible for the extra refund for federal tax that was withheld from your unemployment the IRS will be sending you an additional refund sometime during the next several months.  TurboTax cannot track or predict when it will be sent.  The IRS has not provided a way for you to track it, so all you can do is wait for the refund to arrive.
