I filed my daughters taxes and she received her refund before the unemployment tax break came into play. She received $7,700 in unemployment with $762 taxes withheld. I went in to amend and it first showed an amended refund, then all the sudden switches to $1,100 taxes owed! She had $13,000 in other income and then the $7,700 in unemployment, she should definitely be getting additional money back!
