Q&A of the Week June 9, 2021

So how can I claim and track an unemployment tax refund?

Answer:

If you filed and paid your taxes before the unemployment benefit was introduced, you do not need to file an amended tax return. The IRS will send you a refund or it will be applied to other taxes owed.

However, if the recalculation makes you eligible for additional federal credits and/or deductions, you will want to file an amended tax return. Use this link to get started: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return.

To track the status of your refund, click here: https://www.irs.gov/refunds. You will need to enter your social security number, filing status, and exact amount owed.
