The legislation excludes only 2020 unemployment benefits from taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Because the change occurred after some people filed their taxes, the IRS will first look to see if the original return was amended before taking steps in the spring and summer to make the appropriate change to their return, which may result in a refund. The first refunds are expected to be made in May, and will continue into the summer.<\/p>\n<p>For taxpayers who already have filed and figured their tax based on the full amount of unemployment compensation, the IRS will determine the correct taxable amount of unemployment compensation and tax. Any resulting overpayment of tax will be refunded or applied to other outstanding taxes owed.<\/p>\n<p>For those who have already filed, the IRS will do these recalculations in two phases, starting with those taxpayers eligible for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/new-exclusion-of-up-to-10200-of-unemployment-compensation\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">up-to-$10,200 exclusion<\/a>. The IRS will then adjust returns for those married filing jointly taxpayers who are eligible for the up-to-$20,400 exclusion and others with more complex returns.<\/p>\n<p>There is no need for taxpayers to file an <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/taxprocenter\/tax-law-and-news\/correcting-mistakes-and-submitting-amended-returns\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">amended return<\/a> unless the calculations make the taxpayer newly eligible for additional federal credits and deductions not already included on the original tax return. And, consider that when a taxpayer has scheduled an electronic funds withdrawal of balance due and now owes less tax as a result of legal changes such as these, the IRS allows taxpayers to change the date and method of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/payments\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">electronic payment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For example, the IRS can adjust returns for taxpayers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and, because the exclusion changed the income level, the taxpayers may now be eligible for an increase in the EITC amount that could result in a larger refund. However, taxpayers would have to file an amended return if they did not originally claim the EITC or other credits, but now are eligible because the exclusion changed their income.<\/p>\n<p>The new IRS guidance also includes details for those eligible taxpayers who have not yet filed.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on all-things tax, visit the Intuit\u00ae Tax Pro Center&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/category\/tax-law-and-news\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">Tax Law &amp;
