Ask Terry Questions Unemployment Tax Refund

Unemployment Tax Refund

By Terry Savage on July 13, 2021 | Wild Card

Hi Terry,

I paid my 2020 taxes before the Amercian Recovery and Resue Plan was voted on and approved. SO I paid taxes on the first 10,200 of unemployment. Is there any update as to when the IRS will be getting those refunds to people? Or is there a way to see where you are in line for them to look at it? Thank you for your help!

The IRS says it is working on this issue — so you have to be patient. People are still waiting to receive 2019 refunds, and lots are waiting for 2020 refunds. They’ll find you — you don’t have to do anything — eventually!
