Americans who overpaid taxes on unemployment benefits this year will start to receive refunds this week, the Internal Revenue Service announced Friday.

Under the American Rescue Plan, workers who received $10,200 or less in unemployment benefits last year don't have to pay taxes on that money, as they normally would. However, Congress passed the law change in March, after millions of people had already filed their tax returns. As many as 10 million people potentially overpaid their taxes and could be in line for refunds, the IRS said Friday.

The agency has begun correcting those tax returns and issuing refunds. It's doing the work in phases, starting with single taxpayers with simple returns — such as those who didn't claim children or refundable tax credits.

More complex returns, including those filed by married couples filing jointly, will take until the end of the summer to correct, the IRS said.

Taxpayers who overpaid don't need to do anything. The IRS said it is reviewing and correcting returns "to determine the correct taxable amount of unemployment compensation and tax." Not all people in that bucket will receive more money, the agency said, noting that reviews "could result in a refund, a reduced balance due or no change to tax."

Taxpayers who provided bank information when they filed their returns will get any money due back via direct deposit. Those who did not will get a paper check mailed to their address, the IRS said.

現時点ではロコの方々によると、レターが届いてRefundを受け取った人が居れば、まだレターもRefundも受け取っていない人も居るようで時間がかかっているようです。夫婦でファイリングした場合は今夏までかかるようです。

会計士はIRS最新情報を把握しているはずなので、会計士にファイリングしてもらった場合は会計士に問い合わせてみることをお勧めします。ご自分でファイリングした場合はIRSのホームページにて最新情報をチェックしてみたり、相談窓口に問い合わせてみることをお勧めします。
