What do I need to do to get the taxes back that I paid into unemployment?

If you are preparing your 2020 tax return now, the software will automatically calculate how much of your unemployment is taxable so that your refund or tax due will be correct.

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.
