Q. What is the status on the unemployment tax break?
A. In progress. When depends on the complexity of your return. The IRS has just begun (May 14) sending out refunds for the simpler returns (single taxpayers who had the simplest tax returns, such as those filed by taxpayers who did not claim children or any refundable tax credits).

Q. I have not heard from TurboTax (TT) for an update on how much I will actually owe after the tax break from the cares act or if I will actually be receiving money back instead of owing money. Please update.
A. You will not hear anything from TT. This is between you and the IRS, at this point. TT will post generalized updates, here, as they are made available.
