Tax transcript shows multiple refunds in Jan/Feb but unsure if NY unemployment tax refund is included - can anyone help decode the July $0.00 assessment?

I went through the EXACT same thing last month. The tax transcript is confusing af 🤔 That July date with $0.00 is actually important - it means they've processed your account but havent issued the unemployment refund yet. Mine showed up about 3 weeks after I saw that entry.

I managed to finally talk to someone about this after using a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com). They got me connected to a live agent who actually explained my transcript! Totally worth it instead of calling 50 times and getting nowhere. The agent told me that the "Additional tax assessed" with $0.00 means they reviewed your account and are processing the refund. With dependents, you should be getting yours soon! https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The transcripts are impossible to understand without a decoder ring 🙄 I had to watch 3 YouTube videos to figure mine out. That 290 code with $0.00 from July means they've adjusted your account but haven't issued the refund yet. Keep checking your bank account for random deposits.

from what i understand, if you have dependents theres a whole different schedule for when they process the unemployment tax refunds. people with complicated returns (with kids/dependents) are in the last batch. my sister has 2 kids and just got hers last week.

LPT: Don't wait on them to call you. The ny unemployment system is overwhelmed and understaffed. My brother-in-law worked there briefly and said they're months behind. Take matters into your own hands - get through to a human somehow (I used Claimyr.com and actually got through) or try calling right when they open.

Here's what each code on your transcript actually means: - 846 Refund Issued: Money sent to you - 766 Credit to Account: Money applied to your tax bill - 290 Additional Tax Assessed: They reviewed your account (the $0.00 means no additional tax was added) - 768: Earned Income Credit Based on what you posted, it looks like they've adjusted your account in July (that 290 code) but haven't issued the unemployment tax refund yet (would show as another 846). With dependents, you're in one of the later batches - they're doing simple returns first, then moving to more complex ones. The most reliable way to get answers is to actually speak with an agent. After trying for weeks, I finally used claimyr.com to get through. They kept calling while I went about my day, then connected me when a human picked up. The agent explained everything and gave me a timeline for my refund. Don't waste days trying to call yourself - that's precisely why services like this exist. Getting a human on the phone is literally the only way to get concrete answers about your specific situation.

Anyone know if these unemployment tax refunds are also happening for state taxes or just federal? I'm confused about how NY unemployment taxes work with all this

why is everything with ny unemployment or taxes so complicated? feels like they purposely make it impossible to understand what's happening with OUR money 🤬

FYI for anyone else stuck in this situaton - I just checked the nysdol website and they updated it yesterday saying they're still processing unemployment tax refunds and some won't be issued until September, especially for people with dependents or other tax credits.

This whole process is a joke. i've been waiting 4 MONTHS for my unemployment tax refund. called 40+ times. finally broke down and used claimyr.com to get past the hold times. agent told me they had the wrong address on file which was causing the delay. fixed in 10 min once i actually talked to someone. sometimes you just need a human!!

Honestly the transcript codes might as well be written in ancient hieroglyphics 😂 No one understands them except tax professionals and even THEY disagree on interpretations sometimes.

Quick question - did anybody get partial refunds? I got what seems like half of what I expected based on what I paid in unemployment taxes. Wondering if they're doing it in batches or something?

I see ppl talking about those claimyr people. I was skeptical but I used them last week and they actually got me through to unemployment after I tried for DAYS on my own. The hold music was giving me nightmares 🤣 Just sharing cuz I was in your shoes not long ago.

look at the dates carefully. you got a refund in february of $7,458. that's probably your regular tax refund. the july entry means they're still processing your unemployment tax adjustment. two different things.
