Received Georgia unemployment and the 600 for 6 weeks. Taxes were taken out. Couldn't file online. Turbo tax guy said I had to mail. Had to mail taxes in early February 2021 but first I had to get AGI info from IRS. IRS received taxes in April and I got refund in May. It was exactly what was on the tax form back in February without any changes made to refund amount. Biden had passed this law thing in March? Should I be expecting a tax refund from unemployment and 600?

Georgia still taxes unemployment so do not expect anything from GA.

The IRS is recalculating refunds for people whose AGI is $150K or below and who filed before the tax law that changed the amount of unemployment that is taxable on a federal return became effective.

The IRS began to send out the additional refund checks for tax withheld from unemployment in May. The refunds are being sent out in batches—starting with the simplest returns first. If you are eligible for the extra refund for federal tax that was withheld from your unemployment the IRS will be sending you an additional refund sometime during the next several months. TurboTax cannot track or predict when it will be sent. The IRS has not provided a way for you to track it, so all you can do is wait for the refund to arrive.
