Aloha ！
I completed the process for my 2020 income tax return with my CPA this March. I paid a total of about $ 5,000 to State, Federal. My question is, is it true that I heard that I can get the tax back depending on the amount of unemployment insurance I receive ？ Of course, the CPA also included a deduction of $ 10,200. Thank you in advance.
Mahalo.

＞ So you are saying that the $ 10,200 that was deducted at the time of filing will be returned in that exact amount?

Since the ＄ 10 ， 200 unemployment insurance
was enacted later than the date of filing, those who filed before the bill was enacted paid ＄ 10 ， 200 more income
in income taxes.
so you are now paying back that excess tax.

Let me give you a simple example.

Suppose the amount of unemployment insurance is ＄ 20 ， 000.
And if your normal income is ＄ 20 ， 000 for a total of ＄ 40 ， 000 and you file a return

tax rate of 10% （ Suppose ） you
＄ 40 ， 000X 10% ＝ ＄ 4 ， 000 （ Suppose this is the amount payable ）

but ＄ 10 ， 200 is now deductible, so
the actual payment is
＄ 29 ， 800( ＝ ＄ 40 ， 000 － ＄ 10 ， 200)
This ＄ 29 ， 800X10% ＝ ＄ 2 ， 980 is the original payment.

Therefore,
IRS will return the difference ＄ 1 ， 020 （ ＝ ＄ 4 ， 000 － ＄ 2 ， 980 ）
that is.

I heard a rumor that the Federal deduction is $ officially set at 10200, but the State one is actually still undecided and will be officially decided around July, but I'm not sure what the truth is ？.

As this article says, at this time, the amount of unemployment health benefits is treated as taxable by the state
regardless of the state tax. tax is still taxable.
