Re: Unemployment taxes

My wife and I filed for 2020 and forgot to include her unemployment wages.we are retired and live on SS and do not usually pay any taxes. How do we get taxes paid on her unemployment wages refunded to us.

If the unemployment income was less than $10,200 there would be no federal tax due. Regardless of the amount, if you have no tax liability but had federal tax withheld, you will need to amend your 2020 return and include the income & the withholding on the amended return.
