Unemployment Tax Refund

The Internal Revenue Service started to send taxpayers their excess refunds that weren’t sent due to the misalignment of when the tax season started and when the American Rescue Plan was passed. 

The plan included an unemployment compensation exclusion for up to $10,200. If you were eligible for the exclusion but filed your tax return before March 11 and got your refund early, there is a high chance that you didn’t get benefited from the exclusion. If this sounds like you, know that the IRS and the Department of Treasury started rolling out the tax refunds to taxpayers that are eligible but never claimed it on their tax returns.

When will I get my unemployment tax refund?

The Internal Revenue Service started issuing tax refunds associated with the unemployment compensation on August 18. Depending on the bank you’re working with, the money will be directly deposited into your account shortly.
