Question

How do I find out if I'm getting an unemployment refund? I filed my taxes in Feb and received my refund in May. Am I Eligible for the tax break?

The new laws went into affect after I filed but before I received my refund, I didn't know if they fixed it before I received it or if I'm due another refund. Please help!!!

If you have filed early before the exclusion, the IRS will recalculate your return for the new 10,200 unemployment exemption for you. There is no need for taxpayers to file an amended return unless the calculations make the taxpayer newly eligible for additional federal credits and deductions not already included on the original tax return.

Just keep waiting. The IRS is sending them out in batches over the summer.
