I applied for Fafsa and the school is telling me I need to amend my 2016 return. I don't know if they are right so how can I find out?

A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 3-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:

I believe they said that the unemployment that I received that year was not on included in my return.

Okay, it is strange, I thought I did add it in but I am not well versed in taxes at all.

If that is correct, then yes, you do need to amend. Unemployment compensation is taxable income and you are required to put it on your tax return.
