Unemployment refund

[Chrissy]

Has anyone received their unemployment refund yet or seen an update on their transcripts ?

Closing the 2021 Forum. Please continue this topic in 2022 forum. I am sorry you are still experiencing this delay

[Caroline]

As to date, I have literally nothing. Nothing on my transcript, talked to turbo tax and a tax expert who all told me that it was odd I’m still waiting and that it looks like I’m entitled to a refund but again told not to amend. So I’m just stuck

[Belli]

I re-checked my transcripts this morning and still nothing for me about a DDD.

[N]

I have been researching and researching. I have seen a few post on other “DB’s” saying they have a DD date of Jan 3rd. I am unable to access my transcript. Has anyone else had a date of Jan 3rd?
Thank you.

[cm]

still nothing and its the last working day of the year for the IRS. so frustrated.

[Lifestory21]

If you did NOT PAY taxes on your unemployment and received your full 600.00 weekly UI payment’s you will not be getting the unemployment refund. Those payment were originally refundable credits, and then when the 2020 rescue act kicked in it made them nontaxable. Again, anyone who has not paid taxes on their UI benefits in 2020 should not be waiting for any further payments from unemployment.

[Belli]

I amended my return back in July, for the unemployment money I was due back and it has been 20 weeks since doing so. I called the IRS yesterday and they told me it was assigned to someone back in August and nothing has been done with it. They told me that they did not have an expected return date for me and that I just needed to wait… At this point I will likely get my regular refund come tax season before this one.

[Arjun]

Been waiting for ages, talked to an IRS rep who was of no help either. At this point soon it’ll be holidays for IRS as well so I am not expecting anything. The one question I have is, if we know we are owed refund from unemployment taxes and IRS fails to process it this year, should we file an amended return next year?

[Tricia]

I also spoke with an IRS rep today. This is the second time I have called about this issue. I was told my return is still waiting on review. I had a very simple return. I was told that there was no timeframe or no deadline when my return would be processed.

[Stacy+C]

Caroline. We’re seeing the same on Turbo Tax. They are not adjusting for the new law, therefore submitting an amended tax return is difficult.

[N]

I spoke to an IRS rep, (again), yesterday. I am still in “que” and marked for review. My account has been marked for review since May. They can not tell why it has not been processed; or, when it will be.

[Caroline]

the thing im super confused about is on my turbo tax they went and re edited and took out 10200 on there, but on my transcript it showed my taxable income with the included 10200, is this weird? is this saying im not entitled? I very much paid the money on the taxes.

im so confused and lost

[Tiffany]

Found an article that stated the final batch of unemployment payments would be the end of December. Hoping that means ALL of us who have been waiting forever will finally get our payment.

[Caroline]

Still no update for me

Once again, single, one child, definitely paid taxes on my 22k unemployment. It’s just becoming frustrating, and all the people I’ve spoken to just say “oh well you’re in the queue just wait”.

[RayC]

the nightmare continues. Still not a peep on when OR IF we are getting any Unemployment refund. No changes at all. I’m over it.

[Momof4]

I still haven’t received the unemployment refund. I definitely paid taxes on it intentionally so i know im owed. I have received no letters and can’t access online records. This is crazy.

[Hannah]

Filed in February. Head of household with 3 dependants. Agi was 23*** and is now showing 13*** on transcript. Couldn’t figure out why I didn’t recieve unemployment refund. Finally spoke to irs today and was told since I didn’t pay taxes on my unemployment, that I am not owed any money. Even though I figured I would be owed since it reduced my return.. I guess not.

[Stacy+C]

Still no updates. :-(

[Stacy+C]

No update and we didn’t get our CTC this month. WTF

[Brian]

I read that the IRS processed 430k refunds recently but my transcript still shows an as of date of 5/31/21…Simple return filed single, no dependents. Based on the IRS press releases, my return should have been in one of the first groups to be reviewed and processed. I have been trying to get a hold of a live agent to check in on the status of my return but all I get is a message that the line is busy and to try again another time. So frustrating!

[RayC]

@confused Momma..yes its totally possible. We filed MFJ with 1 dep. Before the new law. I may be in the same boat. My transcripts are cycling back and forth and they never update with a refund. I am pretty sure we aren’t getting an UE refund(offset) It would be nice to knw whats happening from the IRS.

[Tricia]

I had a “simple” return, HOH with 1 dependent. I have had no entries on my Transcript since April. I cannot get through to a live human at IRS phones, nor with Taxpayer Advocate Service. The IRS could at least give an update, such as there are X number of million refunds that we are still working on. This is maddening.

[RayC]

@greg..Mine is the same deal exactly.

[Barbara]

I see some people said the 27th on their transcripts. Well that’s today and no deposit 🙄 I had to request mine by mail last month I had that 290 code with a July date I think. So I just requested another one to hopefully see updated info. Although I dont hold out any real hope of that.

[Kristi]

Single, no depends, filed Feb 2021. Still waiting on the Unemployment Tax Refund. Called the IRS 3 weeks ago, fortunate enough to finally get a live person who was able to look at my account. Said it is “coded for review and in the queue” meaning they’re way behind. Was a little comforting to know my account is in the queue. Was starting to think I was skipped over. Patiently waiting and waiting……

[Natasha]

Yet another week down with no word . Talked to the IRS yet again only to be told that “ I’ll get it when I get it”. When I asked if there was anything holding it up or any issues I was told no everything looks good just have to wait til somebody finally gets to it.

[Natasha]

Another week with Zero word on my unemployment refund. I was told 2 months ago over the phone with the IRS I am for sure owed one but my transcripts still say 5/31. They don’t answer there phones anymore and I check my transcript daily and not a thing has changed !

[Tiffani]

it says my account was adjusted in July and I should have received info by aug 20 and it shows its complete on where my amended return still nothing wtf

[Amanda]

Still no unemployment refund and I can’t see my transcripts cuz I don’t have a credit card or any other identifier, and when I used the Id me thing, it wouldn’t let me past the video part. I got the CTC in my bank account in July and August, then a mailed check in Sept. My return was on time, DD no issues in April, after doing my taxes with HRB 1/28. Married filed joint, 3 dependents.

[Barbara]

I have a 290 code with the refund amount $0.00 with the date of like 7/28. (Cant find the paper right now) I also see someone mentioned if you didnt make more then 10k you wouldnt yet a refund, but mine was around 21k. My spouse (not married) filed same day as me already got his months ago. Also I have 2 dependents he has 1. I saw someone say they called and no payments until October so I guess my question is do I continue to wait or file an amendment?

Same.. I have a pretty simple return. My transcript has not been updated since May 31. I’m confused to how they’ve been processing these. Also, have no idea how to get an actual update from someone at the IRS.

[Colbyg212]

Summer is not over until September 22nd technically but yes I’m pissed off too my transcript showed the adjustment and had an as of date of September 13th which is today they need to fucking tell people something it’s fucked Up they busted ass for a couple months to send out over 8.7 million UI refunds but the rest of us aren’t as important I guess it’s bullshit

[Crystal]

I have an update of September 13 and a 290 code…what does this mean

[Natasha]

My transcripts still say may 31 2021. Another week down with zero updates. Frustrating to the max

[RayC]

ah, question..why are all my posts “awaiting moderation?” I’ve not used profanity or anything. I have seen much worse on here be allowed. Thank you.

[Natasha]

Still no word on my transcripts. Says 5/31/21 with nothing changed. HoH 1 defendant with EIC I was recently told the EIC could be the reason I haven’t gotten my refund yet ??? Super frustrated as I am in the middle of HAVING to move and I could seriously use that money so me and my son have a place to go…

[Rachel]

Idk anymore all this waiting no letters no updates. I wish there was a way to figure out if you qualify. I paid taxes on my unemployment but total income wasn’t very much for year so idk if I did better because unemployment income if I even am owed or am I waiting on nothing. Frustrated

[RayC]

no@ Qui Qui. Your guess is good as mine as to what the heck they are doing there at the IRS. I been stuck endlessly at 8/23/21 with an as of date. Simple return..MFJ with 1 dep…received UEI …We just wanna know IF we are getting the UE refund or not and we can’t reach anyone. Frustrating. Transcripts haven’t updated in nearly 2 months.

[RayC]

@gregnugget well said. ..while throwing my hands up… We are all in this snafu together it appears.

[Stetson]

I was able to get through the IRS and talk to a live person. After confirming all my information the lady told me they have not yet gotten to my taxes yet for the corrections on the unemployment refund. She did mention that they are back logged and will get to it with this upcoming month.

I filed my taxes back in March 2021 before the bill got passed and have yet to see a refund.

[DeidreC1014]

I was prompted to file an amended return from turbo tax since I had my taxes in the same day they started to accept them. Now I still haven’t gotten my amended return back for the unemployment refund and it’s been 5 months. They said it would be mailed but I no longer live at that address either but frequently check to see if it has come and it has not. How would I go about changing the address and also who should I call about my amended return? Thank you

[soulsanctuary]

I received my unemployment refund in June and I filed head of household with 2 dependents. My daughter filed as single and did not receive her unemployment refund as of yet. I read that they more difficult ones were going to be done last…not so sure about that Not sure if they have any specific way of deciding who gets it when…

[Natasha]

I was just told they consider the end of summer officially September 21st… so I’m assuming with what they have said that they are planning on getting everyone’s refunds out before then …. would be nice to get mine or any word about what’s going on but what can I do

If u got 290 code with $0. U waiting for 846 refund code, but if u view your transcript and check the 290 code for the stimulus checks , there probably was not an 846 code after it.
At this moment nobody knows when it will happen, tonight is a weekly cycle

Tai:

I called the IRS this morning and he said I had a tax adjustment of $0. Does that mean I have a refund coming or I am screwed. We got disconnected before I got clarification. Any help is appreciated.

[Jordan]

The IRS agent this morning said I had a tax adjustment showing $0. Am I not getting anything or did they screw up? My 1099 showed $1400 tax withheld on my unemployment.

[Jose]

290 code with a date of 09-06-2021 $0.00 posted on my transcripts. Does that mean I am not getting a refund?

[Johana gonzale]

Hi i wanna know.where are is my unemployer tax check am plus am still waiting on my refund i by waiting 5 mont already this is gette out hand pleas give me any answer thank you

[Nina]

Does anyone still have an as of date for August 23rd

[Natasha]

I have been checking my transcripts religiously and nothing, got ahold of an IRS agent on the phone last week after being on hold forever only to be told that it’s being looked at then got hung up on … HoH 1 dependent simple return, filed 3/9. Wish I would have just waited a few more days

[Elizabeth]

I got a refund of $81 but that doesn’t seem right?

Married, 3 kids. I was only on UI for 3 weeks but my husband was on it for 3 months.

We don’t owe anything to anyone. There’s no indication any of it was withheld for any reason on the transcript. Received August 18.

[Nina]

I’ve been checking my transcript and I have an as of date for August 23rd and a 291 code with $0.00 that was June 14th. Is anyone in the same boat as me? I filed single with no dependents so I’m still surprised I didn’t get anything yet.

[Brenda lacey]

I am wondering why I got my first payment for unemployment tax break.But I didn’t get my last that they sent out in July.

[Raychel]

I noticed a past debt with the DOE was paid off last week.. has anyone got a debt paid and the.n received the balance as DD?? I haven’t gotten anything in the mail. I filed Single , 2 dependents, and my return was accepted Feb 19th..

[TaMMY]

Update today
DD 8/18
Finally!!
Married filing joint with self employment and 2 dependents

[Debbie Barger]

I. Need to find out if I get the unemployment taxes

[Stephanie]

Filed HOH with 1 dependant. Can only get my transcript by mail. When did y’all start seeing the changed date of the 18th? I got a paper transcript yesterday and it had no new info on it.

[Amber]

Hey y’all…newbie here needing some help lol…so there’s a lot of mention about “as of” date on transcripts, as well as deposit dates, etc. and when I look at my transcript it all gets confusing, as I am sure most of us have experienced, and I apologetically admit I intended on asking for info way sooner, but let aggravation get the best of me lol….BUT instead of giving up for good, I decided to proceed with my request….thank y’all in advance and glad to be here {finally}! :)

[Confused & Irritated Mama]

I spoke to someone at HRB recently. They told me that my refund was the same before & after the tax break. A few days later, I got through to someone at the IRS. The IRS told me that it looked like I was owed money. She didn’t say how much or when I’d get it. She said my taxes were looked at in July but no adjustments were made. I have a more “complex” case, which will be towards the end. At this point, I don’t know what to think.

[Greg]

Interesting point. I finally got my refund about 2 weeks after I reached a live person. Coincidence? Maybe or maybe not.

[Stacy+C]

No change again this week. Still as of 9/13

[Brandi]

[Brandi]

IRS rep told me that I am under review and to check back in about 30 days if there is no change to my transcript and/or have not received my unemployment refund. Said they are processing and depositing until the end of the year. Called 866-682-7451 ext 569, got that contact from this site. Waited 23 mins to get someone on the line. I am a single mother one dependent. Got my actual refund in June, less the unemployment refund amount.

[RayC]

Yes its totally possible. I may be in the same boat. My transcripts are cycling back and forth and they never update with a refund. I am pretty sure we aren’t getting an UE refund(offset)

[Confused & Irritated Mama]

Does anyone know if it is possible to not be owed any additional money? I assumed I was since I filed before the 10200 tax break but after speaking with the place tjat I filed my taxes, they said since my agi was lowered I no longer qualified for certain credits. She said the money I would’ve been owed offset the lost credit. What?? How is that possible that I lost child credits for lower agi. I am hoping this is incorrect!

[Belli]

So yes, 20 weeks is an accurate time frame for amended return. Plus my 300.00 child payments are not received. I will not start getting those until the amendment is completed.

[Belli]

I talked to someone at the IRS yesterday and they let me know that my amended return has not been touched and that I would likely not get it refunded to me until December. Fingers crossed that is the case, as I was wanting to use that money for Christmas. I filed an amended return out of impatience on the unemployment refund late July.

[N]

Mine is the same. I keep getting told it’s either under review or marked for review. I was told not to put in an amended return because they can take up to 20 weeks now. When I did not get mine as others did I said, (to myself), well I will have the money for X-Mas. Now I am not so sure.

[Caroline]

nothing, I have nothing

at least everyones transcript shows something. My transcript has nothing, just shows all my returns I got back in march.

im happy for you guys but I have just given up.

I’m in the same boat I filed and got my initial return before they even approved the new law

[Tai]

As of dates keep changing Nov 08-2021.
My understanding is that if your return is completed, the computer shouldn’t be cycling and keeping record of the As of date.
Who knows , I feel there might be a massive refund dump this month

[Momof4]

Still nothing here. Been waiting for a long while and still zip.

[N]

I still have not received anything. I spoke w/ an IRS rep yesterday who says they are still reviewing my form. That they are processing the refunds monthly. Has anyone received an update for the month of November?
Thank you.

[RayC]

same here Greg

If the IRS knocked your AGI down by $10,200, all else being equal, a refund should be flowing soon to you.

[Greg]

My refund check arrived in today’s mail. I thank Crissy for starting this thread 6 months ago, all who posted to keep hope alive, and financial reporters for checking the board and using our comments for stories. Hoping your check or direct deposit is on the way. Peace!

[SteveC]

Still haven’t received. The transcript I received by mail doesn’t show changes to what I originally filed. Is it recommended to file an amended return at this point?

[Greg]

Hip hip hooray. Finally, the date on my transcript changed for the first time and the refund amount I was expecting, plus interest, is now showing. November 15 is the promised date. So hang in there everyone. The dam may finally be loosened.

[Momof2]

Just got through to its. I filed back on Dec 29th. Only 1 W2 and unemployment income. HoH with 2 dependents. I was just told mine was in the process of being reviewed with no date estimated. She told me once mine was done being processed I would get a letter and receive my refund within 30 days of the letter. Last name starts with D and I live in NC. Hope this gives yall as much info as it did me. So… not expecting it anytime soon…. hopefully we will get another stimulus….

[Momof4]

Still nothing here. Unable to check transcripts so I have no choice but to wait for it to magically appear at this point.

[Belli]

I amended in July as I was frustrated and tired of getting nothing back on the unemployment refund. I am still waiting for the amended return to be processed. I will be at the 16 week point next month. If I still do not have anything I will call the IRS.

[Fadetoblack1]

I’m still waiting for my unemployment tax return. I don’t have any info but I filed early and I’m still waiting for them to correct my refund.

[Brian]

Still no updates. As of date on transcript is May 31, 2021. Ridiculous.

[Stacy+C]

Only change on my transcript was my “as of” date was backed up to September 13th.

[Mom29Teach]

Finally have an update. Deposit scheduled for 10/27. Check your transcripts!

[TiffMc]

Checked my transcripts earlier this week. They had finally changed from May 31st to October 25th, but nothing else was different. Logged in yesterday to see if there was any movement and the date changed from October 25th to November 8th and still nothing was changed. Logged in this morning and the date is back to May 31st. I am so frustrated at this point!

[Greg]

I got through to a live person at the IRS. I called at 9am Eastern, worked my way through the multiple levels, then had a 5 minute wait. After taking my info, I had two 5 minute periods on hold while he accessed my account. The bad news is that all he could tell me was that, yes, my tax form had been identified for review for the UI refund, but it’s still pending. He said there are still a lot of pending reviews. I hope this information helps others waiting, but it’s very frustrating.

[Upset+in+Minnesota]

This is honestly ridiculous! No updates, nothing. I honestly can’t believe that they can’t get through these refunds. What’s even more disturbing is the fact that the IRS does not give updates. Just terrible in every regard

[Stillwaiting]

I’ve been waiting since 2/11. Very basic return, no dependents, no lookback, no stimulus claims, no EIC. I couldn’t get through to the irs or an advocate so I filled out the forms and faxed my congressman last week. I received an email today thay he’d opened an inquiry. It’s all I could do at this point. Transcripts show it’s been processed, just no refund issued. It’s like they stuck it in a corner and forgot about it.

[Brandon]

What I would do with my unemployment tax refund. This is bullsh******t!

[Greg]

Glad to see others posting here. Does anyone know the secret of getting a live person at the IRS? Every phone tree I’ve gone down eventually gets me to the message “we’re sorry. We’re too busy. Try later or tomorrow. Goodbye!” I know some folks have broken through the system. Please share with us peons!

[emily]

this is so frustrating!!! I filed single, no dependents, within the first couple of weeks of the tax season. super simple, yet nothing on my transcript since 7/26. i am really banking on this refund for christmas presents so I hope there is an update soon!!! i wish the IRS would at least say something- even just that they are still working on it.

[kl]

still nothing. married filing jointly. no dependents. some self employment income.

[Tiffany]

I have completely given up doesn’t seem like we will ever get our refund. And because of the delay I have yet to receive any CTC Payments which is ridiculous and here we are 4/5 months away from having to file for 2021 Tax Return

[Charis]

Any married filed jointly get their refund or is that a lost cause?

[Caroline]

you’re not alone greg. its frustrating. single, 1 child, filed in February. have not a clue who to call, all the numbers I do call lead me no where. guess im a sitting duck with you.

[Greg]

Wow – no one has posted here a week, making me think I’m the last one to waiting to get my UI refund. Not good.

[Shay]

Mines updated with a code 290 for Oct 4th I spoke to a live agent on the 6th and was told everything had been processed on my account and that the system takes 2 weeks to update so I would have my refund in 2 weeks but Im not waiting on an unemployment refund I file injured spouse and I got audited for the recovery rebate I filed Jan 27th and was accepted 2/12 hopefully this can shed some light on some of you

[Greg]

My weekly update. No changes to transcript. Still says May 31, 2021. It’s nice that others posting here appear to be getting updated dates on the transcript but clearly not me! I know reporters monitor this board; I hope they are asking the IRS for progress status.

[RayC]

and I still have the code 290 for aug 9. With a 0 amount.

[RayC]

Tiffany wrote:

Transcript updated to September 13 nothing beyond that still showing code of 290

Mine just did the same . Went to oct 25 then back to Aug 23 within an hr. Have no idea what that even means or if we will get anything at all . Info has been scarce.

[Tiffany]

Transcript updated to September 13 nothing beyond that still showing code of 290

[Brian]

Filed single, no dependents, straight forward return…Still nothing. No changes on the transcript. Seeing less and less updates on how the IRS is addressing the refunds for the credit. Frustrating.

[Greg]

Weekly update. Nothing new to report. It’s now October. Arghhhhh!

[Stillwaiting]

@TJ same here. Still waiting since 2/11. No dependents, no lookback, no stimulus claims, one W2 from the same company for the last 8 years, same bank account for the last 4. Now it looks like these azzes are gonna shut down. I can’t even deal with this anymore.

[Tj]

Son – simple return no depends – nothing. No letter no refund nothing

[Brian]

One of the first to file, as I was told early file, early refund….
turns out you should wait this year….

Still waiting, ie I only claimed 2 weeks last year.

My mom filed a week later than I did (still before the legislation pass) got her in July…. Lol (also the regular refund is quicker for the later filers than us early filers)

Make no sense whatsoever… At this point I dont expect anything,

[Stacy C]

Another Tuesday with no update. :-/

[Greg]

Hi Friday update time. No change to transcript date; May 31. I tried called the IRS to get a live agent, but each time got a response that lines are too busy, call back again, and a hang up. What’s the secret of getting a live agent?

[cm]

Belli,
Don’t rely on that website for accuracy. Sons shows completed and IRS just told him on the 14th that it hasn’t even been processed yet and he was not the only one to have that information be incorrect. Just stay on them with phone calls. Only way to really know for sure.

[Belli]

I filed an amended return as well and it was received on 7-29-2021. I don’t have them money yet but at least I am not in the dark and I am able to check that everyday. Plus I now know what the refunded amount should be. Really hoping to get it by the end of this month.

[Danielle]

Had to file an Amendment my transcripts are useless. I’ll keep you guy’s posted

[Stacy C]

Another Tuesday.. another week of no updates. From what I’ve seen, the IRS has stalled on the unemployment refunds.

[Spouse]

My husband and I filed jointly and we each received notices about CP21B noting the same amount. This is probably a dumb question, but are we each getting the amounts shown on our notices? Because he has received a payment of that amount plus interest via DD. I have yet to get anything, though he did mess up my bank account number on our tax return when we filed, so I had to await a paper check for my initial return.

[Samantha Debruhl]

So I still haven’t seen no change but called after some one had put that they had called irs and was told they wasn’t getting one n when I called they told me my code was removed a week ago and the put back on just the other day and that I should see an update by October that no rounds of payments went out this month

[Hannarose]

So if I made less than 10,200 but paid taxes I should get money back right? I got money from state so I’d assume I’d get it for federal

[santos villatoro]

wheres my unemployment refund

[Mom29Teach]

Recently read an article saying it could be December before some of us get our return? Still May 31st last update. Single, 0 dependents, self-employment income and unemployment only. Getting desperate as the new job is only PT.

[Stillwaiting]

Heck I’m just still waiting on my return refund since 2/11. I read ever updated thread looking for any sign of hope.

[Stacy C]

There has been a slowdown because – as far as I can tell – there have been no deposits for unemployment since the end of August.

[Greg]

Weekly Friday update. I’m noticing a slowdown on folks that post here, which makes me think people are getting their unemployment tax refund. Meanwhile, I still wait, with no change to my transcript since May 31. I guess it’s time to call the IRS.

[cm]

They told me that meant you were assigned to an agent but were still awaiting processing.

[Danalyn]

I’ve been on hold for 2hours with 4different people at IRS today. First I was told no refund if you didn’t get over 10200 in unemployment then I was told you had to pay tax on it. Now I’m waiting on another person to explain to me why they took my unemployment off my income and I’m not getting refund. I’ve had code 290since August 30. You might want to call.

[Kevinryan7784]

Stacy C

same thing for me

[Stacy C]

No transcript update today. As of 9/13, with the 0.00

[cm]

2/2 resonses:
Called IRS, waited 1 hr 15 min to find out the IRS inquiry status was incorrect, “updated automatically” based on dt & 16 wk TF that their computers are set for amended returns. found out 16 wks was chgd to 20 wks. he is at the 20 wks & it’s not processed even today. did tell us he has been assigned to agent & just waiting to be processed.

For you in the same boat as my son: filed amended return. was adjusted on 7/30. completed on 8/20 based on the online “where’s my amended return” status inquiry. transcript 290 w/ 0.00 as of 8/23. filed an amended for something other than unemployment tx but when filed it incorporated it all at once. should get a ref 1,000+.

Google IRS Transcript. It’s pretty straightforward from there. Post back if you have trouble.

[Stacy W]

Has anyone got there refund yet if the spouse owes back child support but filled the injured spouse form?? Still waiting to find out something because I can not make a account they don’t take a debit card to prove my identity. Is there a number I can call if anyone know of to try to find out something?? Thank you

[Danalyn]

I have code 290 for August 30 with 0$ my income changed how long before I get anything letting me know something

[Loopy]

I am also single, no dependents and have not received my unemployment tax refunded. I thought they were supposed to do “simple” returns first? I regularly check my online irs transcript and the last entry made was to check for tax debt in June which was zero. I could really use that tax refund since Louisiana ended our unemployment benefits in July. I’ve applied at several places for employment and with rising covid cases I’m stuck!

[Mom29Teach]

Still no update Single, no dep, Schedule C. And to make things better my bank closed the account it was supposed to go to. Ugh. May 31, 2021 date and no updates in codes since April. Any suggestions?

[Leann]

I wish!!! I honestly think they Are taking a break from these type of refunds. There were weekly updates for some which killed some of the anxiety but now no one has had any updates in going on three weeks! Many are still just having the as of date flop around without any updated activity!!!

I was told I was paid already for unemployment tax refund but I don’t know what they are talking I got a letter that was it

[Tea]

I’ve been waiting for my retro active unemployment tax refund for two months now can’t get any info or updates received two transcripts from the IRS neither one were updated, really need that money! Thanx!

[Jenn]

About 3 weeks ago, I received my transcripts i requested in the mail. They stated date of 7/26 – 290 code with $0.00… has anyone with that same date for the 290 code received any updates or the 846 code? Anything? Single filer 1 Dependant.. I’ve been trying to be patient but I’m starting to get frustrated :(

[Greg]

Weekly update number 3. Still no change to transcript. Last activity says May 31, 2021. MFJ; 0 dependents. I don’t understand what’s holding it back. Understaffing at IRS? Luck of the draw? They don’t like me? I’m noticing fewer posts on this board and less press about the unemployment benefit refunds and it’s really frustrating to know that if I had waited to file my return, this would have been moot!

[Qui Qui]

I have an 846 refund code for a date 08/20. I received the letter saying I was due a refund last week dated 8/30. It stated if I disagree to call a number but if I agree a check will be mailed 2 to 3 weeks after I received the letter. I’m still waiting on the check. It’s going to my old address even though I’ve amended my return and sent a change of address form. Have anyone received a refund date for 8/20 but haven’t received anything?

[Natani]

MFJ no dependents, I was the only one in our HH with unemployment, still haven’t seen a change in our return other than a status 290 code dated for 8/30/2021. I just noticed my AGI is the 10,400 lower than what we filed for if I go to account transcript but I haven’t seen anything since then, been sitting on the 290 code for about 12 days.

[Stillwaiting]

I’m beyond fed up. Filed and accepted 2/11. No dependents, no lookback, no unemployment, received all stimulus, no EIC, basic vanilla return. Transcripts show processed but no 846 and no holds, letters, no verification needed. Just sitting waiting for someone to issue a refund. This is insane!

[Upset in Minnesota]

Had a update back in August for 8-30. No amount listed.

Hoh. I dependent.

I honestly can’t believe the IRS don’t give any glimmer of hope for anyone through media updates. But nothing.
The advice to sit back and wait has gotten very frustrating especially for people who have been given refund dates, only to be let down even more.

[Heather]

I am beyond frustrated. Summer is over. MFJ no dep. Both my husband and I were on unemployment last year. Our as of date has changed in transcripts several times. Last it was as of 8/30. Has a 290 no tax assessed with 0.00 as of 8/30 and now as of date says 9/13. No refund scheduled. Will I ever get our unemployment refund?!?!

[Steve Macchi]

No info on my joint return, son who had a very simple one, nothing either. The IRS should have some dedicated employees to answer questions about the returns submitted before anyone knew about that $10,200 non taxable unemployment money(or $20,400). Folks need to know what is going on.

[Jessica ross]

Payment

[Susan]

JJ – I’m exactly the same – single, no dependents, incredibly simple return but I haven’t seen an update. It’s making me frustrated every time I see another MFJ return with lots of complications post that they got their money already.

[Reva]

Mines aug 30-21 $0.00
What’s next? I ordered transcripts because I can’t het online. I have a complex tax return. 3 dep and self employment. Credits. Stimulus missing.

[Greg]

My weekly Friday update. No change. Last date on transcript is May 31, 2021. Has the IRS announced another wave of refund checks? Are there parameters that certain returns are flagged and held? Repeating my info: MFJ, we owed money. Had one time K-1 income from an estate. Any information appreciated.

[Stacy W]

Hi who do you call to find out about the money I can not check my transcript cause I can’t identify myself to make a account for it is there a number I can call to ask about it please and thank you

[Tai]

If the date falls to Wednesday – direct deposit
If the date falls to Friday – check would be mailed on that day.
9/1 seems a Wednesday so that should be direct deposit

[Christina]

Hello,

How do I know if my refund is being direct deposited or if a check is being mailed? I received a 846 code for 9/1/21.

Thank you! 😊

[auntjudye]

I also am a single, no dependent tax return who owed taxes due to the unemployment and paid it too early. My transcripts say as of date of 05/31/2021 and no response yet. I called into the IRS and finally got a live body saying yes I am eligible but no date yet. No way to escalate it and no satisfaction. AHHHHHHHHHH

[JJ]

Any other single filers still waiting for their unemployment tax refund? I’ve heard nothing and my transcripts have not been updated since 05/31/2021. My tax return could not have been any more simple. I’m wondering if there is anyone else in the same boat as me or if the IRS clearly forgot about me…

[Tai]

If u got 290 code with $0. U waiting for 846 refund code, but if u view your transcript and check the 290 code for the stimulus checks , there probably was not an 846 code after it.
At this moment nobody knows when it will happen, tonight is a weekly cycle

[Stacy C]

My as of date changed as well to 9-13. Nothing else changed.

[KIM]

hi this is really frustrating I just got off the phone with irs and they looked up my info for my taxes and told me it was pending and they couldn’t give me a date or anything someone higher up was working on my taxes. when I go and looking for where is my refund it has been pending since april. this is really frustrating being a single mom and 1 dependent depending on me and cant do much.

[KIM]

this is kinda dumb that they are leaving people for so long with no answers. I just got the phone with irs and asked what was going on with my taxes and they told me it was pending and I asked what that meant and they said someone is working on it and the person on the phone couldn’t look up any info on it. she couldn’t tell me when it might be paid or anything when I go to where is my refund its been pending since april. this is very frustrating

[Samantha Debruhl]

Have a 290 with days July 28 but haven’t gotten an update since I was hopen for a payment on 18th like so many others but still nothing does anyone know when next round of payment are going out

[Crystal Dykes]

Where’s my unemployment refund

[Tai]

As of date changed to September 13,2021. Seems to be a long September

[Brenda lacey]

I like to know where why unemployment tax break check is.

[Mrs.Hardaway]

@cm
Yes my transcript shows it. I have a 846 code for 8/20/21. I received the check in the mail today.

[Danielle]

I filed Jan29th IRS accepted Feb11th. RF March 1st. I’m HOH2DEP. Haven’t received anything. Transcripts aren’t showing anything. I’m with you, I too could really use the money

How do you know for sure it was mailed on the 20th? Does your transcript reflect that? I’d like to know for sure if mine has been mailed or not.

[Mrs.Hardaway]

Ours was mailed on the 20th. Hoping it comes today. Nothing from informed delivery yet but sometimes I get mail before the email. Received a different check yesterday from the same place that was dated for the 19th so hoping the refund check comes soon.

I spoke too soon. Nothing in the mail for me today. Although, had to file an amendment due to something other than the unemployment for my son and that is finally “completed” so hopefully he will receive his check within these next few days.

Maybe there is hope for some of us today. :)

I received my unemployment adjustment refund in the mail yesterday. Full amount as expected plus 1% interest.

Still haven’t received RF! Requested new transcript via mail. Filed Jan. 29th HOH 2 DEPENDANTS. Received original RF March 1st. I’m constantly looking at my HR Emerald Card account for a deposit. Last transcript showed 290 code $0.00 AOD August 23rd. Praying that all who haven’t received it yet that we all get it before the month is over. I know that we all could use it desperately. Fingers crossed and I’ll continue to keep an eye out on this format for updates!

[LadySnipez]

I sat on the phone with the irs for 2 hours just to be told my unemployment tax refund was issued on my tax return. not sure how when i filed a month before the law went into effect. could this be wrong? HOH 1 dependent.

[kim]

hi am I wondering if anyone has update on status for there unemployment. I filed my taxes in jan and the transcript shows last activity was in april and nothing new. I filed as head of house hold and have 1 dependent. can anyone let me know if they have had any updates. I have tried to call on it threw irs and there is no answers.

If refund is issued on Friday it is always a check, usually takes 7 days from that day of refund issued. Some folks get it early, depends on usps. Watch out for it in your informed delivery.

My weekly update. No change. Arghhh. Transcript still says May 31, 2021. MFJ; 0 dependents. I did have K-1 income from an estate if that matters. I had a balance due when I filed if that makes a difference as well. Hard to figure out what’s holding it back at this point. I guess I can look forward to all the interest added to the refund

[Gail Crutchfield]

I filed my taxes January the 29 and I got a transcript and there’s still nothing when will I get my refund

[Angela Jaquez]

I got a dad for 5150 y

[Tai]

290 code with 0.00 means that a tax hold has been lifted and u do not owe taxes, findings have showed that whenever there is a stimulus check coming , this tax code shows up. But nobody knows when a 846 code will pop up after it.
Some received refunds without 846 showing on their transcript for the unemployment. I believe if u have their code , you might be in queue. Some folks have been stucked at their code since July 26th.
Fingers crossed everyone🙏

Yes, I too have the same thing. Idk what it means

my daughter is in same boat as you – there should be someone that we can call and get valid answers.

[Holly]

My single, no dependent, 19 yr old filed back in March and paid what she owed. Her transcript still says May 31, 2021. This is so aggravating because she needs this money for college!! I thought they were issuing the “easy” single, no dependents first???

[Danielle]

I still have not received my refund 😕 I checked my H&R Block Emerald Card and nothing!! I’m so confused and I can’t get in touch with anyone! I’m happy to see that some people have received theirs today, but I see I’m not the only one still waiting. I’m HOH 2 Dependants UI Benefits filed Jan 29th IRS accepted Feb 12th.

[N]

Spent an hour on hold w/ the IRS. The rep said mine is in que but still not processed. I was told they have till the end of summer; and, that is considered mid-late September. I filed in early February. HOH 4 dep.

[Rambo1981]

I received my 310 IRS Tax Refund this morning however the amount deposited is $43.42 for some reason when I should be receiving about $1600?!?! The deposit is still in pending status and not fully posted to the account. Anyone know if when the deposit posts it will be the full amount of around $1600? Or why its so low?

Thank you.

[Questions]

The amount I recurved is less than the amount on my transcript as well. I’m not sure why, I called IRS, but the call volume is too high and automatically it tells me to call back later. I filled with H&R Block so it went to my emerald card. I did sorry to someone at card holder services and they insist that the amount that was deposited is the amount they received. Does anyone know why the amounts may be different?

[minnowa]

Mine went in as scheduled today! Yeah, finally I don’t have to check this forum everyday for updates. Good Luck to everyone still needing theirs. Remember, you still get your STATE tax refund too but in my state MI, I had to file an amendment for that so don’t forget to do that too. My refund is decent for that too. HOH 2 dep

[Nateknows]

Morning, received my deposit today as expected. Didn’t have access to my transcripts. But spoke with an irs 3 weeks ago. But I’m HOH 2 dep, W2, schedule c and education credits. GOD IS GOOD. I had a more complex return. CHECK YALL ACCOUNTS!!

I’m in the same boat as several of you. Transcript updated with a 290 code $0.00 for 8/31.

[Lori]

Good morning! I checked my transcript today, I got the 846 refund issue code with a date of 8/18/2021. I hope a lot of others that have been waiting like me gets theirs too!!!

[Karen]

Update: Yay! Refund DD in my bank account this morning. With interest!
Good luck to everyone!!

[mad Dad]

y’all read this if you haven’t seen or heard anything about Unemployment then call the IRS about verification or do the verification online thru the ins website. my refund wasn’t even in processing or was held up in processing. because of a verification letter that I never received so my refund wasn’t being processed over a unreceived letter

[Shelize Baskerville]

I haven’t received my unemployment refine I’m trying to see where do you go online to check anyone help me please

[Karen]

I have the following codes on my transcript. The as of date is 8/30/2021

Code 291: Reduced or removed prior tax assessed.
Code 846: Refund issued 8-18-2021 (with the additional amount listed to be refunded to me).
Code 776: Interest credited to my account.

Will see if it actually makes it to my bank on the 18th! Good luck to all!!

I filed as single with an incredibly simple return and haven’t gotten mine yet even though I should have been in an earlier group. No update on my transcript. This is frustrating.

[Texas Gal]

My transcripts just updated with UI DD 8/18/21. HOH, 1 dependent, self-employed and (1) 1099 in February. They are coming.

[Natasha907]

How do you check your transcript to see any updates?

[Sharon Wilkins]

Filed MFJ 1 dependent schedule C. Filed beginning of March. Dates updated to 8/30 refund amount and interest 8/18

[Waiting]

Can’t even check my transcripts online since they don’t take a debit card. So I’m completely in the dark :( Hopefully I receive it on the 18th like everyone else. MFJ 2 dependents.

[LJ]

Just checked my IRS account.
Noticed the following:
291 Reduced or reassessed tax 8/30/2021
971 Notice Issued 8/30/2021
846 Refund issued 8/18/2021
776 Interest accred 8/30/2021
So it looks like things are still moving.

I filed 3/22/2021 Married filing jointly with 5 dependents and not a very complicated tax return. Hopefully more of the MFJ with dependents are starting to see these pop up now in their IRS account.

[Hawaiigurl]

HOH one dep I had a dad of 8/9 and my arrived on 8/11 so if you didn’t receive it yet it could come by mail. The very nice lady from IRS confirmed it was mailed allow 5 days but it properly came on Tuesday in my PO Box. Good luck everyone! It’s coming!

[Starrkiller]

Oh I forgot to mention. MFJ 1 defendant simple return thru turbotax

Y’all mine updated too!!!! More than I was expecting. I’ve been waiting for a long time but it’s finally coming. I really needed this and it’s finally here.

[Karen]

Yay! Transcript finally updated to refund on 8/18. MFJ, 0 dependents, Can’t wait to see the deposit in my account!!!!

[Momof3]

Mine updated to a deposit date of 8/18 but I have a question. I updated my banking information on the child tax credit portal. Will my unemployment refund go there or to the original bank account? 🤷

[CJH]

MFJ, 1 child. Mine finally updated this morning with an 8/18 deposit date. Keep you’re heads up, they’re getting them processed.

[PB]

So I’ve been checking my account transcripts faithfully for a couple of months and haven’t seen an update. I filed married with dependents so I know mine would have been looked at later. We were unaware that taxes could even be taken out of unemployment so we had to count all of it as income and then pay taxes on it , so I believe we qualify. Is it better I wait and see or should I call irs or my tax company for more information?

[Sharon Wilkins]

MOM this is not true. It only needs to be amended if you lost out on other credits due to a higher AGI.

[Greg]

Still no change for me. Transcript still says May 31, 2021. MFJ; 0 dependents. I did have K-1 income from an estate if that matters. I had a balance due when I filed if that makes a difference as well.

[Mom]

I know they say u don’t need to file an amendment. But everyone’s case is different. My case was one of those cases that needed amended. The way u can check is basically follow thru as if u were doing an actual amendment and if anything comes up differently or there is money that is owed to you then you need to amend ur taxes. MFJ W1D Hope that helps.

[Danielle]

@cm I hope so too! Very frustrating! I am the only one in my family who hasn’t received it yet 😕 Like so many we’re playing the waiting game. Back in April/May MA UI sent me a letter stating I was eligible for it and H&R Block sent me a letter saying that. I received numerous letters from UI and IRS, but that was for E-CTC. I read another batch of RF’s were going out between now & Aug 23rd. Would be a major help if that happened before school started!

[cm]

Danielle,
Hopefully you’ll get it soon. Hopefully we all will. Still waiting on mine as well. My son too. Grrr. Very frustrating.

[Danielle]

@cm the 8812 form & other forms were included with my original filing. H&R Block is good with that. I know you said don’t file the amendment because they’re still working on them. I’ll take your advice and wait until the end of Aug. If I still don’t receive it, I’ll have to file an amendment. I requested a transcript on Saturday,

[Sharon Wilkins]

Taking off the non-taxable amount of unemployment doesn’t raise your AGI it lowers it. Not sure if you were confused and meant lowered.

[cm]

Danielle see the IRS website regarding filing an amended return if you are now due additional credits due to the unemployment change. There is guidance there.

[Danielle]

Recap: Filed Jan 29th only UI Benefits HOH 2 dependants. IRS accepted Feb 12th. RF March 1st. Law passed March 11th I’ve tried calling H&R Block, but they’re not getting back to me. IRS isn’t taking calls. I’ve been told by people here not to file an amendment. I paid Fed taxes, I now qualify for other benefits, orig my AGI was to low so didn’t qualify, but I read the law & I do now. I’m just nervous that’s all, like so many others I’m patiently waiting with zero signs of hope

[Stacy C]

Weird. My “as of” date went from June 14th last week back to May 3rd.

[Starrkiller]

So I remember hearing that if you check your social security account and see the taxable income on the site I heard that it meant you updated or something. Mine changed with the 10200 taking out of it so who knows “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“

[Belli]

I ended up filing an amended return and it is now showing on my transcripts that it was received by the IRS. There is also a portal to check the amended returns on and its showing up there as well. Its moving pretty quickly in my opinion. My as of date is Aug 23rd which updated last week., it still says that this morning. I know that it can take 16 weeks for amendments, for me having the portal I can check the status is worth it. At least I am no longer in the dark about it.

[La girl]

Spoke with someone from the IRS last week and I was informed that my unemployment was pulled for review since May but, still nothing. I guess it’s just a waiting game..

[Kyshane]

I’m under the easiest filers single no dependents and no deductions and still no refund. I filled in Jan and accepted Feb 12th! Paid all my taxes and still nothing! I wish they had a portal to tell me more about my refund instead we have to sit in the dark and wait! The way it’s going I’ll be lucky to get the refund by next tax season lol!!!

[SimpleReturn?]

I am a single filer with no dependants who had one job before the pandemic layoffs. I haven’t gotten anything.

[Danielle]

@Jojo the same thing with me. I too have the 290 code with that number $0.00 as of July 26th. I’ve been trying to contact H&R Block and no one is getting back to me. It’s very frustrating

[Jojo]

My code is 290 it says additional tax assessed with number 20212705 then date of 07-26-2021 &0.00 can anyone please tell me what this means? I filed Jan 27 got excepted Feb 14 ? I’ve tryed calling h&r block nobody returned my call.

[Belli]

My as of date updated again this morning to August 23rd. It appears that its going back and forth so I am assuming that things are being worked on at this moment.

[Christin]

Update :
I had around $8,000 in unemployment. I had to pay taxes . I filed as head of household with 1 dependent . I ended up amending my taxes in mid March because I read how some people did . Last week I saw my transcripts updated and it showed a refund . On Monday I got the refund in my mailbox ! I’m now waiting for my ctc payment for July .

[Mike]

I checked my transcript said July 26th with number 20212097 what does this mean?

[cm]

no amendment. They are still processing and will be for some time. an amendment can take 16 weeks or more.

[Danielle]

From Boston,MA HOH 2 Dependants still no RF. Transcripts show nothing as of July 26th. Getting really anxious. Especially, where Summer is almost over. I need help/advice from you guys. Should I file an amendment?

[Karen]

Just called IRS for info on my file. She said I am flagged for the unemployment tax refund, (MFJ, no dependents) and they are currently still working on the adjustments. Also stated not to file an amended return unless instructed to do so. Another batch of payments will be going out August 15th. They do them once a month. Will continue until everyone has been eligible has been adjusted.
Hope this helps???

[Sharon Wilkins]

Still as of 5/31. Nothing has changed since I filed. MFJ 1 dependent, husband regular w-2, me schedule C business. At what point should more complicated returns try amending?

[Brian]

As of date is still May 31, 2021…Single, no dependents, straight forward return.

[Neater]

My as of date went back to June 24th this morning…

[Tiffany]

Same here as of date was July 26th and changed Monday to August 23rd and now back to July 26th don’t know what’s going on HOH1D

[Belli]

My as of date also was a 8-9 yesterday and went back to July 5th this morning.

[cm]

Yesterday the date changed to August 9th and now today it’s back to May 24th. Thought maybe we were making progress but… I was wrong. LOL

[Mike]

Texas hog 1 dependent still no refund

[Leighann Sherman]

Where is my refund

[Ashley]

So I called and talked to my tax lady earlier and she said they’ve already made changes to my transcripts yet it doesn’t show on my end but she was able to pull it up and tell me what my refund should have been etc but no updates on transcripts. Now I guess I get to just wait it out and see when the next batch of refunds go out because the transcripts aren’t updating for me.

[Ashley]

Ashley Sexton

[Stillwaiting]

A changing “as of” date doesn’t mean review. It just means it’s going through a system or being opened for something or possibly even shifted to another department. My date has changed and swapped and gone back I swear 100 times since I was accepted on 2/11 and not a word.

[Leann]

My as of date updated today to 8/9 from 5/31. HOH, schedule c, W2, and 1099!… Only date updated, not her changes, not sure what that means!

[Kit]

Mine also updated today to as of of June 14 from May 31. No other changes on the numbers. From other replies I assume that means a review.

[Lisa M]

My as of date changed to 6/14 today from 5/31 yesterday but no other changes??? I called last week and finally got thru and they said it was in review?? Any idea how long it takes to review??

[Neater]

Has anyone noticed what the timeline is from their as of date until they acually received their refund?

[Neater]

My as of date changed to 8/9/21 today. MFJ no dependents.

[Belli]

I checked my transcripts today and no refund codes were listed but my as of date did change to August 9th, so hopefully that means movement on it.

[Me202137]

No movement here either. I am hoh, self-employed with unemployment. No movement on transcript as of date changed months ago to May 31st. But still nothing..

[CJ]

I filed 2/16 and got my refund on 5/17. My transcripts have said as of June 14th since the beginning of June with no change and no amendments for unemployment. I called the IRS yesterday and all the rude gentleman would tell me was that I am in review status and no clue when it will be reviewed. MFJ, 1 dependent.

[Cass]

I haven’t received my unemployment refund either says it was adjusted on July 30th but my transcripts say nothing. I also didn’t get the advance child tax credit for July either. I have no idea what is going on but I qualify for both programs.

[sami]

@Nateknows, not completely true, there are still a lot of people waiting and more money will come, but I got my paper check today and I had filed Schedule C. Checks were mailed Friday for non direct deposit payments.

[Nateknows]

Had a chance to finally speak with an irs rep on Friday’s after two weeks of calling. I relieved to be informed about the last batch of refunds. Anyone who has a schedule C has not received a refund yet but is slated to receive one mid August. Self employment requires a lil more hands on approach than the simple returns.

[Kit]

I guess I am a little confused… My transcript says “AS OF: May 31, 2021” at the top. Received refund on 3/17.

My confusion comes because under the transactions list it shows activity (code 806) on 4/15/2021, then a bunch of old stuff in 2020 and then another code 766 on 4/15/21.

MFJ, 2 dependents with a Schedule C.

[Jacer]

Single filer – filed very early (before they were accepting returns.) No dependents. My transcript STILL SAY May 31!! I got my IL refund for unemployment MONTHS ago!

About 2 million checks are supposed to go out Weds – I must not be one of them. Again.

Groan.

[RayC]

update . Unemployment paper check in the mail, NOT DD today for us. The site never upated.Transcripts still show no movement lol.Informed delivery showed a pic if it.Hold tight guys, just because you dont see it online doesnt mean its not n its way. They are swamped. UN INTENDED.

[RayC]

BTW, as far as receiving a letter. I seem to notice hardly no one getting a letter. It seems random.Its because they are understaffed and overwhelmed. I expect people wont get there refunds until fall some of them. Its that bad folks.

[Nakeshia]

Just got through said that I am eligible for a refund but has not been updated yet and adjustments will be made through out the summer its looking like the MFJ W 1 unemployment filer and or more complicated returns are going out towards the end..so be patient guys its coming just time is moving like snails 😫😫

[RayC]

my understanding is those with cycle codes ending in 05 on their transcripts could update all day today.Mine is yet to have moved from the holding pattern of the 290 code (0) amount and as of date August 9. We made 13,399 in UI and 6819 IN ACTUAL AGI. 1 DEPENDANT. received refund in march before new UI act was passed/signed. Might I get something back? Filed joint. Already got 3263 back in march. Wonder if the new UI thing gets us another small refund?

[RayC]

@Sharon…nothing yet no updates so far this morning on transcripts. If we aren’t getting anything or ARE it sure would be nice to know. That is the hard part, not knowing exactly how to budget. Its like trying to throw darts at a dartboard blindfolded.

[Greg]

I just found this board. Checked Transcript; no activity since May 31. Still waiting. At least this group gives me some comfort that I’m not alone in waiting for the UI adjusted refund.

[sami]

out of sudden, saw movement there and a refund date of July 30th, If you saw July 30th, It means a paper check, Paper check was mailed Friday, apparently, just saw on my USPS informed delivery that it will be in my mailbox today. Good luck to you all, Hang in there.

[sami]

Just sharing my experience, MFJ with one dependent, Filed taxes early on March 9th, I owed taxes so did not get a refund from Federal. Had $7200 UI and I also filed Schedule C, not a very complicated one but I had about $6k loss from my side business.
Checked my transcripts daily, super frustrating, nothing happened till July 20th,

[Momof3]

We also have a schedule C and have seen no change still as of date May 31 so it’s a good possibility that’s what Is holding us all up.

[FastEddie]

Single with one dependent, I like Sharon and figuring my Schedule C is what is holding up the unemployment tax refund. Can anyone confirm if this is in fact the case?
Thanks,
Ed

[thissucks2021]

Hoping for an update over the weekend but no such luck. I’m so tired of checking just to see nothing has changed. I know they looked at my account at the beginning of July but the date changed back to May 31st. So over all of this!

[LISA MARIE BEARD]

Excellent

That does not sound correct. How could they file for a act that had not been put into law or signed yet? I think it was signed and enacted March 11. I filed when you did and I should be getting an adjustment on my UNEMPLOYMENT etc.

I’m single with no dependents and still haven’t received refund! I owed federal $708 and paid them one lump some on Feb 21, 2021 I don’t know what going on with this refund guess I need to call the IRS Monday

[Tiff]

Is everyone getting a letter saying you’re getting a refund or are we all expecting it because we paid taxes on our unemployment? I’ve seen some say they have gotten a letter. Please explain!

[RayC]

I would avoid amending if at all possible. In most cases there is no need. Even the IRS agents been giving out bad advice on this. If a person has a simple return and situation, LEAVE IT ALONE and wait. Its better to wait a little longer than to wait up to 16 weeks more. lol.

[cm]

also keep in mind that amended returns take approximately 16 weeks to process

[Rebecca]

Sami, if they say they sent it on the 30th give a day or 2 maybe even 3 depending on how your bank processes DD’s you should get it really soon now! The worse wait time is behind you!

[Rebecca]

We received our unemployment tax refund on the 28th. We originally filed our regular income tax return on the 16th of January and after weeks and months of waiting, got it in April. Then the UETR arrived this past Wednesday. We filed MFJ no dependants.

[Belli]

I still have not seen any movement on my transcripts for the unemployment refund. I called and was able to speak to an agent that basically told me that my account was not being looked at and there was no pending actions on my account. They told me that I do qualify for the refund and suggested that I do an amended return. I took their advice and did so with turbo tax, the amended return was accepted by the IRS today. We shall see what happens.

[cm]

Good to know. I’m sure a lot of people didn’t know that like myself. At least they’ve refunded yours. :) So many of us still “patiently” waiting.

[sami]

I called them, apparently because I owed taxes on my 2021, even if you put bank info, they will do check instead of Direct Deposit, they only can do direct deposit if they owed you money this year and direct deposited a refund.

[cm]

I would give it a day or two if the date is today. Not all banks deposit the same day as its released for refund. Theres a processing time with banks.

[sami]

Super frustrated! A week ago my transcript was updated with code 846, Refund issued for July 30th, MFJ with one dependent, Nothing in my account today! It was not direct deposit, I dont even know if they are going to issue a refund, it just says Refund issued today, what can I do if I never get it? Phone number always says busy, call back later. Ugh.

[RayC]

Trying to figure out why my very mundane posting is “awaiting moderation?” Weird. I was only passing on status/update. Jeesh.

[K]

What number are you calling to get a live person for an update on refund for unemployment? The main number just says closed all the time.

[Sharon]

Checked transcripts this morning. Still no movement. MFJ, 1 dependent, self employed for me regular W-2 for husband. Assuming having a schedule C is going to make us at the end for adjustment. If nothing by end of August I will file amended return.

How do i view my transcript online or where you i see if i got a date thanks

[Jessica]

I’m in NJ. Single no dependents filed early in March. I definitely should receive money back and owe no back taxes/ debts. Any one in NJ receive.

[thissucks2021]

FINALLY got through to an agent and she said that my return has been marked for an adjustment for my ui but she’s not sure when that will happens. She said they have until the end of summer (not sure if that means end of August) but that’s the only info she could give me.

[Robin]

I have gotten anything to date so sad that i work and
Not take precedence over child credit or teacher they make
Much more than I do . Very very sad

[sami]

I too filed early, nothing on my transcripts for a long time, Married filing jointly one depe3ndent and my AGI was above limit with unemployment so I was worried this is a complicated case, 7 days ago, my transcript showed a code 291 assessment of income and Unemployment shows deferred and I have a Refund issued date of July 30th, hopefully means I get a refund in 2 days, Hang in there, they are working on them.

[sami]

Code 290 is evaluating your tax account, this past year and this year, I have had 3 of them and one resulted into a refund which turned out to be Stimulus package money I got, for 3 rounds of stimulus you probably see three of those codes and immediately it says assessment value 0.0 which means you were not eligible for that round of stimulus or some dollar amount that was paid to you as stimulus package. Dates this year were January 18th and April 15th, all stimulus dates.

[RayC]

my as of date is august 9. Since about 7 days ago. Might we get an update overnight into Thursday? My cycle code ends with 05… I also have a 290 code now that has 0 next to it. The other code next to the 290 is 20212905. Anyone have a clue what any of this means?

[Tye]

My as of date since the end of June has been July 5th. No changes so far. I filed single with 0 dependents at that which I should’ve gotten mine in May.

[Lovely]

I too have the date of May 31st and no changes at all

[Momof3]

I still have an as of date of May 31 also. No updates as of this morning. 😕

[thissucks2021]

@ Martha
Mine shows that date too. Called (800) 829-1040 for an automated voice told me to call (800) 829-0582 exit 462 to speak to a representative. Called that number and got the “we’re too busy to take your call” message before it hung up on me.

[Martha]

My transcript still has a May 31 date, does anyone else have that? I have been waiting bit my transcript doesn’t get updated.

[Jen]

I received a code and a date with 7/26 and 7/26 has passed and no DD nor any changes made to my transcripts

[Nicole ware]

Unemployment refund

[CherylMorter]

MFJ both unemployment together we were taxed on 14000 give are take. Will we get refund

[TaxMOMMA]

I hopes this helps someone but I received my ui refund through the mail today which is weird because I’ve been getting all my deposits from the govt with no problem. I also haven’t received my tax credit payment so I guess it’s in the mail too . Happy waiting everyone

HOH, 2 Deps. ETIC AND CTC

[Mjay]

Yesssss.. went to my transcript they will send me a refund on July 30th. Waited since February
Mjay

[Trashpanda901]

I’m so over checking and checking. Wish I could access my transcripts or just knew something. I think I’ve checked my dd every hour today. I need this money so bad.
Hoh one dependant only unemployment

[cm]

It’s more likely than not that the IRS contact person gave out incorrect information. As an accountant, I will say, it happens more times than you can even imagine.

[MFJ]

I’m wondering about mine as well. I should call also to make sure that I do not need to do an Amendment, because they stated that we did not have to, so that is very confusing. Hmmm! OK
I’m going to call as well, and yes, Ill do an Amendment if I have to, but I wish they would have just said that from the beginning…

[Dean]

I’ve been expecting a refund for the unemployment. I decided to call the IRS today and finally got through to be told I’m not due a refund that it was already adjusted and included in my original return.. uh no it wasn’t. The bill wasnt even signed when I filed back in January. So I called turbotax and they said I’m absolutely due an unemployment refund. Long story short I had to amend

[Belli]

Still nothing on my transcripts and no DDD for the unemployment refund for me. Filed HOH 1 dependent and just got my refund in late June due to missing 1095A forms.

[Ziggy]

Filed in March Married filing separate 3 dependents haven’t received any stimulus nor my federal return for 2020. My state dropped in my bank within 2 weeks of filing.

[Brittracing5]

I did some research looks like it was a freeze they lifted and are now working on it. 0.00 just means you don’t owe anything. I think will update again or just be ddd.

[Hurryup&wait]

HOH, 3 dependents had 18k unemployment…..have not seen a dime and no movement on transcripts since original return in February

[Eligmez]

I received my transcripts and it shows 290 code with amount 0.00 next to it, shows a date of 7/26/21 anyone’s got the same?? Wondering if I will be receiving my tax refund that date

[thissucks2021]

Anyone receive their unemployment refund but transcripts never updated to show it?

[melissa sloan]

I filed. married with 2 dependents as nd nothing yet

[Darrin Wilson]

Unemployment refund

[Tracy]

I got unemployment and paid the tax when I did my taxes I’m wondering the same thing. I did look at my turbo tax return and it shows the difference I should get back. So I’m assuming yes you will get the refund if you paid in.

[Karebare016]

If you filed taxes before the law passed to make the first $10,200 of unemployment income exempt then you are due back any taxes paid on that income. You don’t need to do anything, the IRS will automatically process it. If the exemption qualified you for additional credits

[Karebare016]

you didn’t qualify for prior to the exemption such as the earned income credit then you do have to file an amendment. I believe I received the unemployment refund yesterday due to the auto correction which was direct deposit, but I will need to wait for my amended return to process for the EIC and that will be a mailed check. I hope this helps someone!

[Chryssy]

Does anyone that got unemployment but didn’t file it on taxes receive an unemployment refund? If not what should I do?

[Stacey]

Sorry, what’s a DD?
I’m trying to figure out if it’s going to be a deposit or an actual check..
Were you able to find that out?

[Stacey]

I too am wondering if this will be direct deposit or if there will be check sent to me. It says refund check will be mailed out but the website mentions direct deposit. Anyone received a check or deposit yet??

[Celeste]

MFJ 3 dependants, still nothing. There are no changes on my transcript and not notices. We filed way early and my husband had unemployment. I just hate that we know nothing and there is no way to figure out if they are even going to look at yours. I don’t know if I should just try an amend or keep waiting.

[Amber]

I filed back in February got my refund Marxh 3rd. Filed married 1 dependant. Both of us received unemployment. Nothing on my transcripts, no one to call, no answers! It’s money we all could use. Why can’t the IRS provide some sort of schedule? Or create a where’s my unemployment refund for those of us who are in the dark.

[Janira santos]

Yo recibí mi rembolso del estado nose si el federal me tiene que mandar rembolso por desempleo por que yo recivi mis taxes en julio 8

[Maria cruz]

I haven’t got my fed refund and I file my taxes in April do I qualify for this unemployment tax refund

[J&A]

We FINALLY were updated with everyone else…MFJ, 2 dependents, 1 W2, 1 self employed, 2 unemployment, but the amount is about $390 less than what TurboTax estimated. We also show a “291” code dated 08/09/2021 “reduced or removed prior tax assessed”.
At this point I’m just happy to be able to pay my rents another month.

[Lisa]

I’m seeing folks that filed way after I did and they have d/d dates of July 30 and Aug 9th. I received my original refund on 2/24/21 and paid taxes on over $20k in unemployment. I should have about $1500+ coming back. HOH 1 dep, self employed and ( 1 )1099. This is beyond acceptable.

[thissucks2021]

My transcripts still show the last updated date as May 31st and no dates for July on it. This is so frustrating. I wonder how long I should wait before I ask my tax lady to see if I should in fact do an amendment. Single HOH 3 dependents, received normal refund back in March and got the CTC on the 15th.

[maryjaneslastdance]

@Texas, you wouldn’t have happened to have a tax code of 290 with $0 and a date of 7/26 on your transcripts last week would you? I ordered mine and anxious about receiving something this week. Thanks I’m advance

[Texas]

Recieved mine today
MFJ 3 dependents. Only I had unemployment. Got Direct Deposit. I had requested my transcripts by mail last week and got them on Tuesday. They did not show a refund date. I was also surprised at the amount i received today. A lot more then expected. Good luck everyone.. The waiting and not understanding and lack of information sucks.

[Deborah dionne]

Ashley1013

[RowleyPoley]

Got my deposit today. Transcripts also reflecting changes. Married filed Joint with 3 dependents.

[Tate]

I just checked mine and it says 7/28 and interest is on there as of 8/9. So now I need to see how the CTC is going to workout since my amended return is done. Hopefully they get that part together because folks trying to live.

[Nat808]

I got CP21B notice yesterday from IRS dated 7/26 saying they adjusted my 1040 and have an increased credit of about $4k. I got my regular refund in June. I filed HOH 3 dependents 3/10. I got all stimulus and advanced child tax credit . DD on my transcript says 7/23 for the additional $ on the CP21B notice,but I heard if you have a Friday DD you will get a paper check. I have no pending deposits in my account today so I’m not sure when I will see anything.

[Melissa]

My transcripts are showing a deposit date for 7/22 yet I’ve gotten no deposit yet, and no advance credit deposit either!! What use is the transcripts of the information is wrong??

[sami]

I saw this morning in my account transcript, there is a refund and date shows July 30th, nothing else, I tried Where is my Refund, does not find anything.

[sami]

how do you check direct deposit date and details? What website? IRS account or here is my refund?

[KillerBs]

Has anyone gotten a ddd for 7/28 but it’s a lot less money than they expected? MFJ 3 dependents and both my husband and I had unemployment income. It’s about $1200 less than I expected. I’m hoping it changes but not really sure why it’s less than I calculated it should be. Any help is appreciated!!

[mh]

MFJ, 2 UI 1099s, 1 W2, 0 dep. Finally updated with 7/28 being date of deposit. Hopefully that is accurate.

[cm]

anyone MFJ 1 dependent along with educational credits for college?

[Tara]

Yes I had UI, reg income and self employment income as well mfj with 3 dependants. Update to ddd 7/28

[Momof3]

Did anyone who got an update have a 1099 or any self employment income?

[Aj2019]

Finally got an update this morning. As of date 8/9 but the date by the refund is 7/28 so we’ll see.

Mfj with 2 dependents

[Blonde louisiana]

MFJ 3 dependants, unemployment have a ddd of 07/27 updated this morning

[RayC]

may I add, I have 1 child as a dependant. wife works part time…

[RayC]

Woke up this morning, checked my transcripts and they updated to an as of date of august 9th. I have a 290 code now with 0 next to it. Received my regular tax refund in late march. I was on unemployment,filed my return in early feb. accepted Feb 16. Does this update mean I won’t get anything?

[Piper]

Filed single w/o dependents EZ 1040. Paid taxes on $13,000 UI benefits. Still NO reimbursement. Now, if the tables were turned and I owed the IRS they’d be on me like a fly on flypaper DEMANDING I reimburse AND pay penalties and interest!

just say’n….

[Beth]

So I see an update on Taxslayer, website I did my taxes with. I/we got 1796 back, but the updated info shows I should have gotten 2334 back due to my unemployment. The waiting sucks, especially sense idk if they have moved on to married filling jointly, or still sitting with single filers. My son got his extra back due to his unemployment. I read they have another batch going out on the 26th of July? I guess we will see.

[Richard]

Finally got through to IRS after 2 hours of waiting and being transferred. They said my information was being reviewed to see if I get a unemployment refund but had no timeframe. UGH more waiting

[Lilamber]

HOH 2 dep. Filed on Feb 12th well before unemployment tax breaks. Owed $ and they updated my 1040 on my TurboTax may 11th and still nothing. Can contact or call anyone. I really believe they screwed me this time

[Patricia cole]

When will I get my underemployment refund

[Patricia cole]

When will I get my unemployment refund

[Connie]

So what a joke! When you use the tool tracker , it asks one of the stupidest questions “ they want to know the exact amount your to get back? “ how I the heck would I know I! I paid my taxes on the unemployment , there supposed to correct it and send me what the difference would be, how would I know the amount?

[Boucherkj1969boss]

I have not received mine.

[Karen L Chiles]

I filed my tax before March new law do I get a refund was unemployed FMLA

[Richard]

MFJ with 2 dependents, I am the only one that had unemployment. I been checking my account transcript and no change and also haven’t received any letter. Very frustrating as there is no one to turn to for answers as the IRS is so busy.

[trishcat]

Married filing jointly, 2 dependents, still no change on transcripts. Husband was the only one with unemployment.

[calichick]

Filed taxes 2/15/2021 married filing joint. No update on transcript on any unemployment refund as of yesterday. I was the only one who received unemployment funds.

[Belli]

Still nothing on my transcripts and I have not gotten the unemployment refund. Filed HOH with one dependent and just got the regular refund in June. I was in the errors department due to not sending in an 1095A and 8962 so that may be why they have not touched mine yet. Hopefully soon.

[Dean]

My lady and I both accepted the same day 2/12, we received our refunds in April. I got mine a week before her. We both claimed HOH and 1 dependent. She received her unemployment refund 7/9. I’m still waiting for mine. Our returns were almost identical except I used the look back option and used 2019 income.. does anyone have a DDD for this week?

[Vane]

How can I check my transcripts to check if I’m eligible? Any link?

[leon1979]

does anyone know how to check transcript or to use the get my refund tool to do this? i’m curious cause i read that here. https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/taxes/millions-of-unemployment-tax-refunds-coming-irs-timeline-tax-transcripts-and-more/

[thissucks2021]

I also got a letter stating that I was eligible for additional weeks past my BYE date back in May but they stopped on my actual BYE so I’m still confused about that. This whole thing is a mess.

[Cheeser]

no and I had a simple return – single – really ticks me off – I filed early and now get screwed

[Matt]

MFJ, 2 dependents, 1 W2, 2 Schedule C’s, 2 Unemployment, claiming premium tax credit (affected by change in AGI), so fairly complex tax return compared to others. No sign of UC refund yet (including on transcript) though did receive July child tax credit.

[ATurn]

MFJ, 1 dependent. Still nothing regarding unemployment, but did get our child tax credit deposited on the 15th. We filed in February and have gotten everything else early-ish so I guess we’ve been spoiled because this is making me very impatient. Back to stalking my transcript I guess.

[Jesse Dunn]

I have been waiting well over a reasonable time to receive my refund ive heard nothing of anything and been notified or updated in regards to anything. This is ridiculous and im in desperate need of the refund

[Starrkiller]

How do you figure out if you’re getting a return? TurboTax hasn’t shown me anything different and I can’t make transcripts account due to no credit card.

[La]

Anyone else’s AGI change and have additional tax assessed message before they received their refund?

[Jessy H]

Hoh 2 dependents only unemployment income, just received my deposit 30 mins ago so they are still coming and being released as the days go by!

[Cheron]

Single, also had 401K withdrawal. No refund yet, no changes to my account transcript. I too am really losing hope that they will ever send my money back!

[Patty]

I received the irs letter back in late May and as of today I still haven’t received my refund.

[Teresa]

Have not received unemployment 10200 refund yet very upset no status change in transcript either

[Pagie S]

Where do you find out how much you are getting back and when it is being sent out. I see nothing on our transcript.

[Aide flores]

I haven’t received anything from the stimulus checks I got 2 kids under age in the head of the house hold. I did ,2029 and 2020 taxes still no response

[J&A]

Our transcripts changed back in May with an “as of” date of 06/14/2021. We were hoping that meant we were in the next round of refunds, but it seems to be we’re playing the waiting game still.
MFJ
2 dependents
2 W2, 1 Self Employed, 2 Unemployment
Hoping and praying we will get something soon!! TurboTax is showing about $2600 difference and we could definitely use it right now!

[Eddiep62]

Hoping that some self employment income is what if holding up my UE refund. Single w/ 1 dependent in VA.

[Aj2019]

No not yet. My transcript hasn’t changed, either, but my Tax Act refund is a lot more than it was originally. MFJ with 2 dependants.

[Carly F]

I have not gotten mine and no changes in the transcript either. I did receive a letter from the state and it said 2-3 weeks. I still have gotten no check. That was a month ago!!

[Merelyn88]

Can anyone tell me if I qualify for the refund?

[blessedbeachgal]

Mine as well as my daughter’s still shows as of May 31, 2021. However, my son and his g/f received theirs and he is single (first round) and she is single with a dependent. (second round) My daughter and I are either HOH or MFJ —AND we both received 1099NEC. Im assuming if you are self employed or receiving a 1099 NEC or MISC then youre still waiting. Am I correct?

[thissucks2021]

My transcript date as gone from May 31 to June 14th then back to May 31 several times. Anyone else had this? Still no DD…single with 3 dependents

[Tina]

Was wondering what the link is to find out if I qualify for the refund.

[Kass]

HOH 3 dependents in Texas, got mine deposited today

[Texas]

MFJ 3 dependents. Only i recieved unemployment. Made less then 50 thousand combined last year. No direct deposit yet. No idea how to check my status since i cannot figure out the IRS log in. Did however recieve my child tax credit this morning.

[Shyanne]

For anyone who filed their original taxes in February, would you have already gotten a tax return for your unemployment if you had taxes taken out while receiving unemployment last year?

[Bubbs3983]

Filed MFJ no dependents and haven’t gotten a DD yet and nothing has changed on transcripts. Credit Karma (where we did our taxes) does show a significantly higher amount of return though…

[charles xavier]

Got my refund deposited into my account today. filed single Good luck to everyone else!

[Kemonei]

Married filed jointly. Husband is taxpayer on account. He can’t create an account. I created one it shows no update also have kids say we not eligible for child tax payments. 90,000 between the both us.

[Sade]

@Roe SAME. But no DD.

[Ayanna]

Okay I’m single with no dependent. School credits claimed for return. I check my account today and IRS TRANSCRIPT changed from May 31 to July 26 with 290 Code and $0 next to it. What does this mean? My total income for the year also changed .

[Shyanne]

Married filed jointly with 3 dependents. Still no refund and no update on transcripts. No DD nothing.

[Crystal]

HOH 2 dependants, recieved unemployment refund this morning!

[CAT]

Married filing jointly with dependents still nothing

[Roe]

I am HOH with 2 dependents On 7-9-2021 my transcript updated with code 290 “additional tas assesment” dated 7-26-2021 for 0.00

Anyone else got this?

[jeanne]

Still no update on my tax transcript. glad some of you have received yours. guess at this point not sure when they will do another one. beginning to lose hope that they will ever look at mine.

[Amy]

Got my refund this am! Direct deposit into my bank. Good luck everyone!

[Sharlyne]

Randomly checked my account this morning and my unemployment credit was there. I can’t believe thank you and good luck to everyone else

[Sharon Houston]

How do I check transcript for my unemployment . Have seen nothing

[Greicha]

Where can I check my refund date

[Samantha]

So for the unemployment refund….did we need to amend or is the IRS going to do it automatically? I’ve read different things I’m in Louisiana if that matters MFJ with 3 dependents

[Ann]

Hey im hoh with 3 dependents and my info says the exact same thing. By any chance dud you wait forever for your return?

[Melissa]

Not me still waiting. I am one of the easy one with single and no dependents. I am out of work for the summer and I really need the refund right now. I hope it comes soon.

[Marissa]

For those that got it or have a DD date of tomorrow, what filing status? I have Married filing jointly with dependents, wondering if they are working on those yet.

[Ashley]

Will we be receiving unemployment tax refunds from both state and federal?

[charles xavier]

Just checked my transcripts today and I FINALLY HAVE A DD FOR 7/14. They even gave me interest

[JamesFit]

Quick question to the community who used turbo tax. How accurate was the amended amount in turbo tax and the actual additional tax refund you received from the IRS? Was it more or about the same?

[auntjudye]

I am single, no dependents checked my transcripts no updates and I had 11800 in unemployment last year that I had to pay taxes on. There doesn’t seem to be any way to track who, what, where or when. Frustrated.

[PaulH]

Single, no dependents. TaxAct has adjusted my return since they announced the law changes. Waited 2 months and got just my original tax return, no unemployment taxes refunded as of yet. Transcript has still not changed. Tried to see if i could go ahead and do an amendment and TaxAct won’t let me because they already did it

[Keejo]

Where are you finding this “as of date”? I don’t see anything changed from my original return.

[MEA]

Finally got my unemployment refund today. It’s $600 more than expected!!

[Tiff0511]

HOH with two dependents. Can’t check transcripts IRS won’t let me into the system asking me to confirm identity through a credit card or a major loan don’t have any of that. So how can you create an account if you can’t confirm your identity? I had 15k that I paid taxes on for unemployment. So I hope my refund comes soon most HOH with two depedents is seeing a date of july 14th I hope I will get mine then.

[Devon]

My transcripts updated again and FINALLY have a DD date of 7/14 with the full amount + 10%! Havent seen anything anywhere for CTC deposits yet, but VERY happy to get this one finally.

I has HOH with 2 deps.

[Charlene Paulhill]

I’m trying to see what I get in the back pay unemployment

[Jessica]

How do I check my transcript?

[Rose]

My refund is in my account for the 14th but is about 10% of what I should be getting. Anyone else deal with this problem? I don’t owe any debts so it doesn’t make sense.

[Loressa]

Those who have received their money, how much are you getting back?

[Tenniss]

I am hoh with 2 dependents. I got my return in May and am just waiting for unemployment refund. On 7-9-2021 my transcript updated with code 290 “additional tas assesment” dated 7-26-2021 for 0.00

[Belli]

[Gmaa2013]

My transcript has a deposit on 7/14/21 but the amount is $800 less then I expected.

[Carolyn tate]

Looking for my unemployment overpayment tax refund

[Shal]

Pending deposit for 2500$ for the unemployment refund.. DIDNT realize it bc would be so much 😍

[Anthony King]

I still haven’t received my income tax or my stimulus who do I talk to

[Kristin]

Is anyone here married filing separately? That seems to be the one status that no one has any info on.

[Clueless]

Anyone ever find out why the IRS reviewed their account and didn’t issue a refund for UE when you clearly paid in? Mine just updated my AGI and left a code for account reviewed but NO effing refund issued. 😡 I paid over $1500 in taxes on it. Where the hell is my refund??

[Steph]

I am HOH with 2 dependents how so you know if you when you get the unemployment refund.

[Niecey day]

Anyone else’s AGI change and have additional tax assessed message before they received their refund?

[Mermg]

I’m married, we filed jointly, no dependents. I had unemployment all of 2020 starting I think March or April since I got furloughed. How much has everyone been receiving from the unemployment tax refund? We haven’t gotten any hints or transcripts or pending DDs to give us a clue on how much or when we can expect it…. we could really use the $. :(

[Silvey.nikki]

I have already recieved my regular refund on 4-14-21 but thet was before the unemployment thing so I’m waiting to recieve it. I got my transcript in mail today and it shows as of date: may 31, 21 . but it shows code 846 refund issued 4-24-21 $2200
Code 846 refund issued 1-4-21 $1800
Code 846 refund issued 4-14-21 $2407

But its showing tax relief credit 5-4-21 $1200
Credit to my account 5-4-21 $1000
Can someone please help???

[Acadiagirl]

My refund is pending for July 14, but it’s about $1,000 more than I was expecting. I’ll probably just put it in a savings account for a few months in case the IRS asks for it back…

[Vanessa]

My as of date states June 14, 2021, but I have a 150 code showing a cycle date of 7/4/2021… anyone knows what this means? I filed married jointly 3 dependents for reference.

[Momof3]

Thx to this site I have been checking my transcripts. Just today my transcripts updated with new amended tax return and a refund issue date of 7/14. I filed married filled separate with dependent. No letter in mail or 846 code just credit issued 7/14

Hope this helps.

[Chris]

Just looked at transcript today 7/11/21 and it shows refund due 7/14/21. Head of household with 2 dependents. Hope this helps someone

[Jay]

Single in SC, still bo refund, nothing in mail. Can’t even make an account with the IRS because they “can’t verify” any of my credit cards.

[angel85]

Married with 2 dependents. Pending Unemployment Tax Refund is in my account for July 14th!!!!

[IL888]

1. IRS does not have an SMS text complaint line. The following is a scam to fish for your personal info – BEWARE!

“Tom
Haven’t received your second or third stimulus check yet? Make a direct complain to the IRS Office by texting their Helpdesk SMS number (xxx) xxx 0721. I got mine $2000 yesterday after making a complain. I’m so happy right now 😊”

[Faith]

I still have not gotten ours. Mfj with dependent.

[Candice]

Married filed joint with 3 dependents. As of date Jun.14th. Nothing for unemployment tax refund yet for us.

[Max83]

Has anyone seen anything that’s married with dependents?

[Silvia]

Nope. Mfj with dependents and no update. As of us May 3rd tho. So I guess it needs more time. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤬😫

[Lifestory21]

So are they putting it on the unemployment BOA cards or like the JH Serve cards that were an option to receive taxes on?

[Hurryup&wait]

HOH w/ 3 Dependents and had 17k in unemployment last year and haven’t seen a dime!

[Boredwiththis]

Like many others, I received my unemployment adjustment refund on Friday afternoon.

Married, no dependents.

[Kelzoee]

Got my deposit today. HOH 2 dependents. Good luck!

[Kylady]

Deposit hit chime bank filed HoH 1 dependant transcript never updated never received letter just deposited out of the blue.

[Jenn]

@Erica my as of date is July 26

[Jessnicci]

My as date updated today to 7/26. Have additional tax assessed message but no 846 code. My AGI was reduced to below 10k so….there’s that lol. Idk.

[Meegs]

Just checked my transcripts and looks like I’m getting my refund 7/14. But it’s a full $1K less than Turbo Tax said so I’m wondering what that’s about. The total being deposited is whatever is listed by the 846 right?
HOH, 2 dependants

[JazzThee]

I just got my UE refund today…

[Jon]

Same here. I just got mine at some point today. I’m HoH One dependent.

[Reggie C]

Yes, I just received my unemployment refund a hour ago

[Stacy C]

No change on my transcripts. I’m starting to wonder if they’re doing one batch per month since there has been one drop mid-month for both June and July.

[Star789]

I just checked and I have a DD for 7/14. I am greatful to have a DD finally however the amount is a full 1K less than HR Block predicted. Has anyone else had that happen?

[User124]

Deposit just hit

[Momof1]

I just checked my transcript and I have a refund date of 7/14/2021 I used the turbo card and the money is already there.

[Keshia]

As of date still 5/31/21
846 code for 7/14/21
Received deposit @ 11:06am 7/9/21
Netspend

[Brooks86]

My as of date was 5/31 until this morning and then it changed to 7/15, my refund is also a lot more than I was expecting

[User124]

My as of updated to 07/26, but I have an 846 code for the 14th for $100.69. Confused about the amount because I paid over $1800 in taxes while on unemployment last year.

[Viola]

On Turbotax I don’t see the difference at all.

Happy to hear that some of y’all are seeing that now! I checked my transcripts today as well and I still do not have the 10K deducted from my pages yet. Hopefully soon though! I also paid taxes on all of my unemployment and should be getting a chuck back from it. Fingers crossed its soon.

[Erica]

@Clueless, I’m going to try to get thru the phone lines to inquire about it. I’m so mentally drained as it relates to this tax year! Waited months for nothing.

[Clueless]

Can anyone explain why we wouldn’t get a refund? I paid taxes on my UE and my transcript update to as of July 26, and the AGI went down like @erica and it shows tax assessed but no additional refund shown?? Why wouldn’t I get a refund if I obviously overpaid on my taxes? Wtf

[Erica]

My 2020 transcript was updated and my AGI is not less -$10,000. My as of date was is July 26th….but, no refund for me. Check your transcripts!!

[Erica]

My transcript was updated (adjusted to remove $10k), but no extra refund for me.

[Brooks86]

Single, one dependant. Got my refund date for unemployment tax schedule for July 14th, transcripts show 846 refund and interest refund also. Maybe the IRS isn’t moving too slow anymore.

[NYnic]

My “as of” date has been 5/31 since 5/14. It changes to 6/14 but then it goes back to 5/31. On my 2019 transcript my “as of” date changes from its usual 5/11/20 to 7/12/21. On 7/2 when my “as of” date changed to 6/14 again on my 2019 transcript my “as of” date changed to 7/19/21 for the first time. I don’t know if any of these changes mean anything though. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Stacy C]

My as of date is May 3rd. Married filed joint with five dependents. I expect ours will be one of the last as we have adoption tax credits as well as 1099 income beyond the unemployment.

[Belli]

My as of date also keeps flipping back and forth from July 5th to July 19th

[NYnic]

No update here either. I did have my “as of” dates flipping back and forth for awhile but that may just have been due to the CTC advance that I’m supposed to start receiving next week. We got our refund in February and all of the stimulus payments by direct deposit with no issues. We’re just waiting for the UE refund now.

[Belli]

No updates on anything for me, anything for any of y’all? I am a HOH filer with one dependent and I did have issues with my 8962 forms so I just got my refund at the end of June.

[Vi]

@Tiff thanks I haven’t had any updates thus far.

[Tiff]

@Vi I have never viewed my transcripts. I’ve just been playing the waiting game. According to the adjustments for unemployment they still owe me quite a bit. I had read that so many people got their initial refund and I was frustrated that I had not. Well I finally did and now waiting for the unemployment portion. I haven’t received a letter so Im back to waiting again. HOH with 2 dependents.

[Viola]

@Belli Thanks

[Belli]

I am curious if anyone had any unemployment benefits that they claimed that they are also waiting for a refund on. My as of date went from July 5th to July 15th this morning but nothing else is listed on the transcripts so I am wondering if that is the IRS working on that along with the refund from the 8962. I got my regular refund today minus the unemployment and the offset from the 1095A and 8962

[Boredwiththis]

They will send you a letter, but it will not be before you receive your refund. It will be within 30 days of the adjustment.

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/2020-unemployment-compensation-exclusion-faqs-topic-g-receiving-a-refund-letter-or-notice

See question 3. You won’t get a letter before.

[Boredwiththis]

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/2020-unemployment-compensation-exclusion-faqs-topic-g-receiving-a-refund-letter-or-notice

You will get a letter within 30 days of the adjustment, but it will NOT come before you get the refunded amount.

[Clueless]

I also read that you will get a letter before your payment if you are to receive a refund on unemployment. Or if you had an offset they’ll state that as well. I’m guessing anyone with dependents won’t see money until late summer.

[Vi]

@Tiff
Did they send you a letter first before they sent your refund? Also was your transcript updated showing the refund was on its way?

[Tiff]

Finally got my refund! However the adjustment was not added from when I paid taxes on my unemployment. I filed 2/14. I waited all this time. They could have paid it with the adjustments!!! 😡

[Tai]

I think the catch is , if you get a letter , you will be getting it , same principle as it’s the CTC. Read that on Irs website.

[Amy]

CO worker, filled married no dependents got a letter and money this week.

[Devon]

Filed HOH with 2 dependents. I got refund and stimulus already. TT shows i should have another $1500 due to the unemployment refund.

My ‘as-of’ date changed from 5/31/21 to 06/14/21 a week or so ago. Then yesterday it switched back to 5/31/21. June is OVER, why have they not taken care of this yet?

[Candice]

Nothing yet. Last change was “as of” date became June 14th and that change happened long ago. Filed married. Only one collected unemployment and 3 dependents.

[MEA]

Anyone have any updates?

[Blonde louisiana]

I believe the updated transcripts for July 12-14th are in regards to the monthly child tax credits that start July 15th.

[Yani]

Transcripts changed to as of June 14th && stated that way. HOH 2 dependents.

[Hurryup&wait]

my transcripts updated yesterday to July 12th and are still the same this morning. no other changes though!!

[Jenn w]

My transcript updated today to as of June 14th.I went back in to save a screen shot of it and it now reverted back to as of May 31st… anyone else???

[Tai]

If your as of date changed , it means someone touched your file or the computer cycle throughs. Something is strange though as some folks as of date changed today to June 14th. We will see if the unemployment refund will be updated on the transcripts tomorrow for weekly cycle codes

[Fatherof3]

My as of date changed to July 14th that’s it

[Timah]

Filed 03/01
Accepted 03/01
Still being processed in April sometime
Transcripts updated 2 weeks ago with codes 971 & 570
Transcripts updated today to codes 571 and refund issued for 06/28

Used 2019 income with unemployment added interest to original amount. HOH with 3 dependents.

It’s coming guys!

[Jenn]

My as of date on my transcript changed to June 14. Other than that there are no other changes. HOH 2 dependents.

[MEA]

I called the irs again yesterday and was told again that nothing has been done and there’s no DD. The guy had no idea when it may be deposited. All it showed was that it was tagged for unemployment and needed to be worked on still. I’m so annoyed.

I never received anything!! Not even the initial part of my refund. I filed on 2/14. Still processing with tax topic 152. Amount is still there. Filed HOH with 2 dependents and unemployment.

[Clari419]

Has anyone that filled HOH with dependent receive their unemployment refund? Also for the people have received it and used Turbo Tax did your turbo tax get updated before you got your deposit?

[Stacy C]

Nothing here either. Just checked transcripts. I’m really not expecting anything in June as I’m in the married filed jointly category.

[MEA]

I just called irs and all they said was that they’re working on it and no DD date yet!!! This is so infuriating!

I recieved part of my refund in march, but not from unemployment tax break.

Question – I do have student loans, however, I was told that bc Biden has suspended loan payments until September I would recieve the unemployment tax break despite the treasury offset. Does anyone have any otber information?

[MEA]

I can’t get into my transcripts. I have 1 dependent and hoh. Anyone know a dd dare for us?

Nope, nada. TT has been updated for weeks and shows a higher return amt.

[Hurryup&wait]

Anyone heard anything else on unemployment for those with dependents, no update to transcripts here??..

[Hurryup&wait]

be thankful for state refunds, Indiana is not giving refund on 10200!!!

[Curlygirl]

The crazy part is that my state has already done their unemployment adjustment & started sending refunds. This is all over the place smh

[AC]

HOH, 3 dependants. Any HOH had movement. Can’t check transcripts online. Hoping soon. I could use the cash for sure.

[Mimi]

My as of date changed from May 31st to June 21st with no dd or refund amounts reflected. I am hoh with 1 dependant. Im not expecting this refund anytime soon.

Has anyone with a dependent and hoh received their refund?

[ladydeath]

I have some questions about the unemployment refund. My AGI is 37,202, married with 1 dependent. Checked on Turbotax and i do not see anything has changed as well as looking at my transcripts.Ive looked for the -10,200 on all the lines but i do not see anything of the sorts. My husband was the one who claimed unemployment. We filed in February (before the changes took effect in March). Got our normal refund in April. Would we be getting the unemployment refund?

[Hurryup&wait]

danb single?? dependents??

[DanB]

Got the unemployment tax refund today DD!!

[Jenn]

@ladydeath you do qualify. You will be in the phase two of the payments, sometime this month in June, or July at the latest.

[ladydeath]

I have a question…i filed in Feb (before the Unemployment tax Break in March), received my refund in April. However, nothing is showing on the IRS or TT for the adjustment for the unemployment (husband was on unemployment). Married filed joint with 1 dependent. Would we qualify to get the unemployment refund? AGI was 37,202

[Hurryup&wait]

hoh, 3 dependents no change to transcript but usps informed delivery shows letter in mail today from irs Kansas city?? huh, I wonder what it is??

Once you set it up you can access it to see your federal transcripts.

[geanmarie]

where do i go to check my transcript,or any info on updated info on my return??

[Jenn]

Still no changes for me. As of date still May 31. HOH with two dependents.

[Laura]

Married filing joint with dependents. Transcripts has “as of” date May 3 when I checked a few days ago. Today it says June 14..wonder if this means phase 2 will start going out around mid June..? I sure hope so!

[Bfox]

Two of my friends that are single filers both have pending deposits in their account right now for unemployment tax refund. They are coming!

[Candice]

Filed married with dependents and credits. As of date changed to Jun. 14th. No other changes that I noticed so far.

[Jenn]

no changes here :(

[S3H]

My transcripts updated to show me a refund amount (code 846) with a date of June 3rd. Check your bank accounts that day because I think that’s when the first payments go out!

[ltrader7]

Our transcript changed to “as of June 14”…I wonder what this means. Joint filer with dependents and credits.

[Curlygirl]

Phase 1 refunds will go out 6/3. The only way to check it is on your transcript. Phase 1 is single filers, no dependents. On your transcript look for code 846. The date & the amount will be there. No update yet on when phase 2 will go out or who all is included in that group.

I read in a news article that no one has received their unemployment refund, at least no one has posted online anywhere that they received it.

[AleciaS]

Married, filed jointly, 3 children claimed as dependents. Husband was the one who claimed unemployment last year. I looked at Tax Slayer, our tax software. Federal refund up top shows a different amount that original refund. I looked at the tax return and it’s showing the $10,200 adjustment. I take this to mean that it’s been amended by the tax software…but I wonder if it’s been submitted to the IRS?

[Jenn]

I just read on another thread that some transcripts are starting to update and some people have a June 3 DD date.

[Justin]

I filed my tax return on Jan. 31st with H&R Block. HoH, 2 dependents. 14k income from job, 13.5k income from unemployment. My return amount went from 7600 down to 5800 once the unemployment income was added. Does this mean im owed 1800?? I see no change on my tax transcripts or my H&R Block documents. Wth is going on?

[Clueless]

@chrissy
No I had a refund due.

[Chrissy]

@clueless
Did you owe ? I did . I’m wondering if that’s why ?

[Clueless]

@chrissy
Yeah I guess mine hasn’t been amended. It’s still the same. I didn’t file married but I did have dependents so maybe that’s why. Hopefully it comes before the kiddos need back to school clothes and things 😂

[Chrissy]

@clueless
When I sign in where it showed how much I owed showed a different amount . Then I looked at my 1040 form and it showed it was amended . It broke it down and showed my new agi . I hope this helps !

[Clueless]

@chrissy
Where are you looking with HRB? I don’t see any change with mine but maybe I’m not looking in the correct place. Mine still shows my original refund amount and no changes made.

[Chrissy]

I used H&R Block . I finally saw an update on there . I had to pay taxes and now I see I’m getting most of what I paid back . My transcripts still has not updated .

[Kesi]

They have announced they are starting with less complicated refunds like single people etc
Those ppl with dependents or married with join returns won’t see a refund until end of summer.. atleast those of us who are just waiting on money from taxes taken out

My <span id=”IL_AD1″ class=”IL_AD”>pdf</span> on turbo tax def had a -10200 a few days ago and now is gone??? No clue what the hell is going on??

Just checked and mine has done the exact same thing! WTH? May is almost over and I havent heard of anyone getting the refund as of yet.

[Kim]

Mine to win away and the AGI is back to where it was

[TexasSingle]

I just checked and mine did the same. It was showing the 10,200 reduction and my refund balance but now it’s disappeared

[Bri]

@hurryup&wait

The same thing happened to me!

[Hurryup&wait]

My pdf on turbo tax def had a -10200 a few days ago and now is gone??? No clue what the hell is going on??

[S3H]

@Amy your refund amount would change as well as your AGI. And you’d see a -10,200 on line 8 on the schedule 1 document, after your 1040 doc

[Amy]

I have not seen any updates on my turbo tax. Where would I look for them?

[S3H]

I don’t even have any updates on my TurboTax docs at all :( anyone else experiencing this?

[Bri]

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same glitch that I am? My turbo tax account was updated to reflect the $10,200 tax break(showed -10,200 and new refund amounts) and I looked today and the update is gone?

[TexasSingle]

No updates and no deposit. Only thing I have is TurboTax updated and shows I’m owed money.

[Kaycee]

Has anyone even had an update to their transcripts? I’m starting to think they all lying and there won’t be any refunds in May at all!

[TexasSingle]

I still haven’t seen anything. TurboTax shows I get a refund for unemployment. Shows the correction and got the email saying o wouldn’t have to do anything. I’m single with 1 dependent. Nothing received yet. They keep saying on the news they were going out this past week but I’ve seen no one who has gotten it.

[Jenn]

This is all a bunch of BS….they get the stimmy money out quickly….we have a deadline to file or taxes….send us our money!

[Hurryup&wait]

same on mine on turbo tax, -10200 but no change to refund amount……transcript have no change either

[S3H]

@Jenn thank you for the reassurance 🙏🏼 Just so curious as to why my docs haven’t been updated. Maybe it’s cos I claimed the recovery rebate credit? That’s why my federal refund took a minute so maybe it’s delaying this refund as well 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Jenn]

@S3H you defineitly qualify

[Hurryup&wait]

Same boat, my agi changed but not refund amount…

[S3H]

So frustrating that I seem to be the only one that doesn’t see any changes on my TurboTax document. Just the same old refund amount I already received and no -10,200 on the other income line below the amount I received from unemployment compensation. My AGI is 50K, I qualify right? :(

[Kim]

So I just logged in and I see that my AGI has changed and the 10,200 was added to other income but my total refund amount hasn’t changed?

[Apryl]

@MS1987 I used the amended refund tracking it says my info isn’t available…..

[S3H]

@Jenn and @devg yeah… I did that and my refund amount and AGI are the same, they haven’t changed :( maybe I don’t qualify but I’m not sure why I wouldn’t. I’m stressed

[MS1987]

When i downloaded mine on Turbo tax it comes up as an amended return. I didn’t amend it so maybe its from the IRS working on it for unemployment.

There is a different link on the IRS site to track amended returns, but no info available yet it says for me.

[Devon]

@devg and others – where are you seeing the change on your documents? I can’t see it on mine :(

My tax documents on turbotax (the PDF) show my income changed and also show an increased tax refund amount for lines 34 and 35.

however, my transcripts STILL arent showing anything new except the ‘as of’ date now has 5/31/21

[Jenn]

@S3H they are deducting 10,200 from your unemployment, so that changes your adjusted gross income. Whoever you filed
with, just download a copy of your tax return and you will see the changes that were made and what your new refund amount is.

[Jenn]

@S3H they are deducting $10,200 from your unemployment that you received. This changes your adjusted gross income.
Go to whoever you filed your returns with and just download a copy of your tax return, and you will see the changes made
and your new refund amount. Subtract new refund amount from old refund amount and that is what your expecting to get
back now at anytime.

[Jenn]

@S3H I’ll try again…was just going to say they are deducting the 10,200 from Unemployment which
reduces your adjusted gross income, and you will get a refund based off that.
Whichever tax software you used, subtract new refund amount from old refund amount and that is what you
should be getting back.

@WyGuy74 two of those credits are stimulus payments

OK I get that…the 1200 and the 600. But what bout the 1245? Is that the amount I’m getting back from the unemployment refund? I’d check my account if I could but I can’t create one cuz I don’t have loan info to ID. So how am I able to find out when I’ll be getting it?

[MS1987]

So I was looking and it seems as though on TurboTax it says my return was amended because of them working on my unemployment and it gave me a different link to track my refund.

https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

anyone have any luck with this link that is due an unemployment refund?

[Apryl]

My turbo tax documents are updated in my as of date has changed to 5/31 I am not sure what the significance of that is, my guess is that my account will not change until after that date…
I am HOH with two college students so I did claim education credit and I am guessing again that that is why I am not in this first round. Just curious to see if anyone else with a similar situation has gotten theirs or any information on when they will.

[S3H]

@Jenn I used TurboTax too! No dependents, single with a 50k AGI. I claimed the recovery rebate credit, maybe that’s why mine hasn’t been changed yet. I read somewhere that people who claimed a credit won’t be in the first round of payments :(

[Jenn]

@S3H yes you do qualify. What tax software did you use? I used turbo tax.
Are you single? Dependents?

[S3H]

@Jenn That’s the thing, I can’t calculate it cos they haven’t put the -10,200 on my documents yet! That’s why I’m concerned because my AGI from 2020 is 50k (before taking out the 10.200) so I should qualify right? I read somewhere that the people who claimed credits would not be first up but after the simple 1040 single filers

[Jenn]

@S3H the 10,200 deduction reduces your AGI so you get a higher refund. Subtract old refund amount from new amount and that is what you should be getting back.

[S3H]

@Jenn try again! I also realized that I claimed the recovery rebate credit on my tax return so maybe that’s why mine hasn’t changed on my TurboTax docs yet. I read somewhere that they are starting with the more simple 1040s of the single filers, and then moving on to 1040s that have any credits claimed

[Jenn]

I tried answering your question S3H but it won’t publish on here weird

[S3H]

Also, can someone tell me the exact qualifications that you need to get the refund? Like AGI, etc? Just so I know I qualify cos I don’t see any changes on my docs :(

[S3H]

@devg and others – where are you seeing the change on your documents? I can’t see it on mine :(

[Devon]

Looks like I am in same boat as others.

early filer, got refund and stimulus etc. HOH w/2 kids

Turbotax has updated my documents to show the amended amount from unemployment. However the ONLY change I can tell on my transcripts is they all say as of May 31, 2021.

I check my bank daily in hope of good news.

[Jenn]

I am in the same boat as everyone else. Turbo tax updated my refund amount on my tax forms, but that’s it.
No DD yet. I read on the news sites that there will be no way to track your refund, not on WMR or anywhere else.
I just wake up each day hoping it’s in there, but so far nothing.
I am HOH with two dependents.

[Hurryup&wait]

Also see changes to turbo tax PDF where they added UEC -10,200 but no change to refund amount and no one seems know if you’ll get tax back that you paid on that or what?? no DD as of 5/20 @ 5:15am EST….

[TexasSingle]

Still nothing. Can see the changes on TurbTax but nothing deposited yet.

[S3H]

And has anyone seen any changes on their tax prep service documents and/or their transcripts?

[S3H]

Bumping this – anyone receive their unemployment tax deduction refund yet?

[Momof4]

I’ve read that the payments for unemployment will start this week and the child payments will start July 15th. Haven’t gotten any unemployment check yet via mail or DD but got a letter about my adjusted taxes yesterday. I did read that it is subject to offsets just like normal tax returns so that suck for some, luckily I dont have any offsets.

[Scott]

If it matters at all I filed 1/25 and was accepted on 2/10. I been guessing that my usual deposit day is Wednesday that maybe my unemployment refund will hit my account tomorrow! Fingers crossed!

[Jenn]

@WyGuy74 two of those credits are stimulus payments

[Scott]

Somebody please help! My transcript reads as follows…As of date-3/15/21
Credit 4/15/21 $1245
Credit 4/27/2020 $1200
Credit 1/18/21 $600

Cycle Codes
20210705
20201505
20201502

Can someone 6help in deciphering all this? I don’t see anything on there that tells me anything about my unemployment refund! Can someone help please?!

[J&A]

We found updates to our TurboTax PDF Return…but haven’t seen any updates on transcripts. Mine still says “as of 05/03/2021”. We’re married, 2 kids, 2 W2, 1 self-employed, 2 unemployment, so I don’t see ours being in the first few rounds, unfortunately. 2020, what a year…

[Apryl]

@tiff I did receive my initial refund just not the difference which I believe is to be sent out this week but I don’t see any changes on my transcript.

[tiff]

@Apryl I am in the same boat. Filed HOH and I have not received anything! I was wondering if my refund would come with the adjusted amount. I never ordered transcripts. I have just been waiting. I started a thread because I never received the initial refund either but TaxAct shows the adjusted balance.

[Apryl]

My transcript is now showing an “as of” date of May 31 but other than that no change. Does that mean mine will not be adjusted until after that date? I filed HOH….

[Apryl]

My transcripts aren’t showing any change or amendment. Are they sending the refunds prior to processing any kind of amendment or does this mean that mine hasn’t even been started yet? I filed head of household.

[Jenn]

@S3H if you do a google search of “when will the IRS refund my unemployment” a whole lot of news articles comes up with the time line of when they are sending them out. IRS just made the announcement yesterday (friday) :)
I am in same boat as all of you, I keep watching and waiting.

[S3H]

@Jenn where did you see this??

[Jenn]

The unemployment tax refunds start going out this week! (Week of May 17)
You will get your refund by DD or check, depending on what is on file for your most recent tax return.
:}

[Ashinil]

@S3H it says UCE and -$3120 which is what I made on unemployment. I was fortunate enough to only draw unemployment for a month when my fiance had covid and I had to quarantine because I tested negative. This was at the beginning of all this.

[S3H]

@haydinsmomma-08 if this is not too personal to ask, what is the amount in that line?

[Ashinil]

@S3H the UCE was on line 8 of the Schedule 1 document. The documents are mt TurboTax return document pdf.

[S3H]

@haydinsmomma-08 which line did you see the UCE on the TurboTax document? And is this your TurboTax tax return document pdf?

[Ashinil]

I filed using Turbo Tax. My tax documents that I printed out when I filed doesn’t have anything on my schedule 1 line 8, but when I go to TurboTax now and view my documents it has UCE with a negative dollar amount. There is nothing on my transcripts. The as of date at the top is May 10th.

[Jenn]

Most people’s as of date will say May 17 because that is ‘tax day’ this year, when all taxes are due to be filed.

[TexasSingle]

The official press release from the IRS and the news media says they will begin issuing refunds in may. Not reviewing but sending.

[S3H]

@ThatGuy where did you see you got approved with the ddd?

[McCaig]

@Thatguy

Are you talking about your unemployment rebate?

[Beancounter]

Single filers will be reviewed first starting May.
Joint filers will be reviewed last…could be late summer before refund issued.

[Mimi]

So i just reviewed my 2020 tax docs on TurboTax. The amounts have updated there but not on my transcripts. Unsure of ddd for unemployment refund. Hopefully, it comes soon.

[TexasSingle]

Nothing here yet

[ThatGuy]

Mine updated sometime yesterday with approved and a ddd of may 13th. I’m feeling so lucky as other seem to be having a little trouble Dx my positivity goes put to yall

[Momof4]

I read on another thread that someone got their check in the mail the other day for the unemployment tax refund. So l guess I’ll have to keep checking because I haven’t gotten mine either.

[Tiff]

Nothing 😡😡

[McCaig]

Has anyone heard any news on when we may get the deposit

[Momof3]

My transcript says as of 5/10. We file married but my husband is the only one who had unemployment. I have heard those who file married will be waiting longer.

[rtbartonie]

My transcripts did update my as of date is: 4/26/21
Cycle code: 20211405
I have three sets of 846, 4/15, 4/30, and 5/18. They all have varying amounts, and none of them add up to the previous stimulus nor tax return amounts I’ve already received. Cycle code 20211405. Strange I’ve never seen so much activity on my transcript file. I have no idea how to track the amounts being shown. I guess the DD will be a pleasant surprise :/

[Hannah]

My as of date is may 17 as well.. wondering what that means..

[Erica]

My As Of Date changed to May 17th.

[Tiff]

Nope! Still processing since March 6!!
