I'm confused...is this adjustment happening automatically or do we need to file an amended return? I paid taxes on about $22,000 in unemployment last year.
It's automatic for the basic unemployment exclusion. You only need to file an amended return if the exclusion now makes you eligible for credits or deductions you couldn't claim before. With $22K in unemployment, you'd get an exclusion on just the first $12K of that.
Thanks for clarifying! I'll just wait for the automatic adjustment then.
ANYONE ELSE STUCK IN PENDING FOR MONTHS ON NY UNEMPLOYMENT? This tax refund is nice but I'm still fighting to get my regular benefits from 3 months ago! System is completely broken. Can't get anyone on the phone no matter how many times I call 😤
wait for real? i might have to try that. this is driving me insane and I'm about to be evicted if I don't get my backpay
something to keep in mind is that ny unemployment benefits are usually only like 50-60% of your regular income, so even when u get approved ur still gonna be struggling. start looking for a new job NOW, dont wait for these people to maybe possibly call u back someday. they've already shown they don't respect ur time.
Bruh they're 10000% selling that hotel. Same thing happened where I worked. Kept us on the hook for almost 2 years with "renovation" excuses. File for unemployment TODAY and start job hunting.
I just came to say the NY unemployment system is a complete JOKE. I've been trying to resolve an issue for MONTHS and can't get anyone on the phone. The fact that we have to worry about normal system adjustments just shows how poorly they communicate with us. It's embarrassing.
Have you tried using claimyr.com? I was in the same boat until I found them - they got me connected to a real agent who fixed my issues. Changed everything for me.
How do you normally get your payment? Direct deposit or debit card? Some people with the debit card option have been seeing delays recently.
You might be hitting your maximum weeks allowed. Check how many effective days you have remaining in your payment history.

•No catch man, I was skeptical too. They just stay on hold for you then transfer when a human answers. Saved me from going insane hitting redial for days.

the trick with ID.me is that it doesn't work on Safari at ALL. try using Chrome or Firefox and clear your cache/cookies before starting. fixed it for me!
