Did you read my last post, but are still waiting on your unemployment refund 😫? Unfortunately so are quite a few others😩😒…BUT although the official ‘Check Your Refund Status’ is not tracking the unemployment tax refunds, there is one way👇 to check the status of the refund 👀!…
Letters are supposed to be mailed by the IRS around 30 days prior to the processing of the refunds, but some are hearing crickets in their mailboxes. It’s very frustrating to keep hearing about ‘rounds’ of refunds supposedly going out (to refund taxes on the first $10,200 of unemployment income for many who filed early/before the $10.2k income exemption law was finalized – just in case you didn’t know), but checking your bank account and mail frequently -only to see no refund, AND having no clear way to checking the refund status.
So, here’s a sort of roundabout way that may help you track the status:
When you login to your IRS account there is an option to ‘request a transcript’ of your tax returns. There are several transcript options, however, the ‘account transcript’ option indicates that the transcript type will show ‘any adjustments made by the IRS.’ There is a PDF file option that provides the transcript online immediately for viewing.
Those who have received their unemployment income tax refund have confirmed that a notation, indicating an adjustment had been made to their 2020 return, was shown on their tax transcript prior to receipt of the refund. Now, some have waited longer than others after seeing the transcript update, but…still saw it… Sooooo just saying, monitoring your account transcript may provide you with a sort of ‘bootleg’ way of tracking the status of your unemployment refund 👀…
Give it a try‼️and if the method works for you, please be sure to share with others!
