Question

Hi, I opted to have taxes removed every week from my unemployment benefits. Once I entered that info my NY refund reduced by $1,000 plus. Why is that?

You may have opted to have taxes withheld from your federal income tax return but not the State of New York. Check your 1099-G if there are amounts listed in Boxes 10A, 10B, or 10C. If there is nothing recorded in those boxes, then this will reduce your NYS refund because no taxes were paid in.

 

Also, if you live in New York City or Yonkers, there is an additional city tax that you may be liable for.
