Why is my tax return $0 from my unemployment

I'm assuming that your unemployment payments were your only source of income. Did you have taxes withheld? If not, then you are not eligible for a refund.

If you are asking about a stimulus payment, then you may still be due for that payment(s).

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return.

You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.

Some states will mail out the 1099G. Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site.

Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment

Go through the screens very carefully, making sure to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.
