Anyone single get their NY unemployment tax refund yet?

Filed in February, single, no dependents, got my tax refund in like 3 weeks but still waiting on the unemployment tax refund. Getting really frusterated with this whole process. Called the phone number and couldn't even get through to ask about it. Starting to think this is never coming.

I finally got mine last week! Single filer, made about $15k on unemployment last year. It just showed up in my account with no warning. Was starting to think they forgot about me lol. The deposit just said "IRS TREAS 310 TAX REF" - got back about $1,400. Hang in there!

I found an awesome service that helped me actually get through to unemployment to ask about this! After trying for days to get someone on the phone, I used claimyr.com and got a callback with an agent on the line within 45 mins. Check out this video that explains how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE - the agent told me the unemployment tax refunds are coming in batches and mine was scheduled for next week. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent.

Looking at the IRS website they're supposed to be processing the simple returns (single filers) first, then married couples after. They started in late May but said it could take all summer. I'm single and still waiting too. This whole unemployment tax thing is such a mess!

From what I understand, if you already filed your taxes and paid taxes on unemployment before the American Rescue Plan passed, the IRS is supposed to automatically recalculate and send you the refund. But if you filed after the law changed, it should have been included in your original refund. When did you file?

Here's what I know as someone who FINALLY got their unemployment tax refund last month: First, they're processing these in batches based on complexity. Single filers with no dependents and simple returns are first. But even within that group, they seem to be working through it randomly. Second, there's no notification - it just appears in your account. Mine showed up as "IRS TREAS 310" in my bank statement. Third, the IRS 'Where's My Refund' tool DOESN'T track these adjustments. You won't see it there. Fourth, if you want to check if your adjustment is processed, you can try to get your IRS transcript online. It will show if an adjustment has been scheduled. Fifth, if you absolutely need to know when it's coming, you'll have to talk to someone at the IRS or unemployment office. I spent DAYS trying to get through before I found claimyr.com - they kept calling until they got through, then connected me to an actual human. Best money I've spent all year considering it got me actual answers about my refund status. Hope this helps someone! The system is frustrating but hang in there!

It's such bulllshit how they handle this. I'm single, claimed like 20k in unemployment, and I'm still waiting too. My friend in California got hers weeks ago. NY unemployment system is a joke.

i got mine 3 weeks ago - single, no dependents, had about $11k in unemployment. deposit appeared randomly on a thursday. they didn't send any emails or anything, jsut showed up in my account. about $1100 back.

I haven't gotten mine yet either but my brother did (we're both single, similar situations). Seems totally random how they're processing these. The whole NY unemployment system is a nightmare from start to finish.

Has anyone tried calling the IRS about this instead of unemployment? Wondering if that might be more helpful since it's a tax refund issue.

Wait you're supposed to get a tax refund for unemployment??? I had no idea. I collected around $14k in UI benefits last year. How does this work? Do I need to file something?

So I work for a tax prep place (not giving details for obvious reasons) - from what we've seen, the IRS is WAY behind on these adjustments. They keep saying 'all summer' but honestly some might not come until fall. If you had other complications on your return (self-employment, multiple W2s, etc) you're further back in line even if you're single. It sucks but all you can do is wait.

Got mine yesterday! Single filer with pretty simple taxes, about $13k in UI last year. Refund was $1,224. Hang in there everyone!

The most frustrating part is you cant even check on the status. I tried calling NY unemployment and they said it's an IRS issue. Called IRS and they said they can't give status on individual adjustments. It's like they designed this system to be as annoying as possible 🙄

check ur bank accounts carefully guys!! my refund came through but it was labeled weird - something like 'ACH CREDIT IRS TREAS' - I almost didn't notice it wasn't my regular direct deposit
