Anyone received NY unemployment tax refund yet for 2025? Still waiting on mine

I got mine about three weeks ago, but it took almost 2 months from when I filed. The regular 'Where's My Refund' tool won't show adjustment refunds - you need to check your tax transcript directly on the IRS website to see the code 291 with the adjustment amount. If it shows that code with a future date, that's when they plan to process it. Keep in mind NY state is processing these in batches, so some people get them earlier than others even if they filed around the same time.

still waiting on mine too filed in feb... irs website is useless kept telling me to wait 21 days but its been waaaaay longer than that smh

I was in the same boat and couldn't get a straight answer from the IRS website for WEEKS. I kept calling but could never get through to an actual person. Then a friend told me about Claimyr and it actually worked! Got connected to a real IRS agent in about 10 minutes when I'd been trying for days before that. The agent confirmed my refund was approved but stuck in processing and they were able to push it through. If you're desperate to talk to someone, try their service at claimyr.com - they have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Sorry, my mistake! You're right - Claimyr is specifically for connecting with unemployment agents, not the IRS. I mixed up my experiences since I was dealing with both issues at the same time. For tax refund status, you'd need to keep trying the IRS phone lines directly.

For contacting unemployment, Claimyr definitely works! I used it last month when my benefits suddenly stopped and got through to NYSDOL in about 15 minutes instead of spending days calling. For your tax refund though, you'll need to keep trying the IRS lines directly or check if they have any special hours when call volume is lower.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS A JOKE!!!!! I filed in JANUARY and still NOTHING while my brother filed in MARCH and already got his!!!! Makes ZERO sense how they decide who gets paid when. I called 23 TIMES yesterday and couldn't get through once. They do this ON PURPOSE to make people give up!!!

I was worried about the same thing, so I checked my tax transcript like others suggested. Found out my refund was scheduled for this week and it actually showed up yesterday! One thing that confused me - it wasn't labeled as an unemployment refund on my bank statement, just showed up as "IRS TREAS TAX REF" so maybe check if you already got it but didn't recognize it? Also the amount was slightly different than what I expected, about $42 less.

It just appeared in my account - no notice beforehand. I only knew it was coming because I checked my transcript and saw the date. The IRS is definitely not big on communication with these adjustments!

My sister got hers but I didn't get mine. We both filed the same week with the same tax guy. Makes no sense to me but whatever.

Tax professional here. If your transcript shows code 291 with a future date, that's your scheduled processing date. The refund typically hits accounts 5-7 business days after that date. If you see code 971 followed by 846, that means it's been approved and sent. For those still waiting, please note that unemployment tax refunds for tax year 2024 are being processed through August 2025, so some will wait longer than others. This is normal IRS procedure for adjustments.

Exactly right. Code 846 with the 4/22 date means your refund is scheduled to be deposited on April 22nd. You're all set - no need to worry!
