I received unemployment in 2020, but I don't recall putting this on my tax return with Turbo Tax. As I recall, there was no way to input this information. Do I need to file an amended return to receive the refund?

    Hi @JW333 

    First, you'll want to review your return and confirm you included the unemployment compensation on your tax return. It would appear on your 2020 Schedule 1 Line 7.  If you didn't include the information there, you may need to file an amended return.   If this was included, the link listed below will help you determine if you need to file an amendment for a different reason.
