Know What Benefits Are Available\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unemployment benefits are monetary compensation paid out by the federal and\/or state government to people who are unemployed. However, there are several types of unemployment benefits you may be eligible for. These include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Benefits paid by a state or the District of Columbia from the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Railroad unemployment compensation benefits<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Disability payments from a government program paid as a substitute for unemployment compensation<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Trade readjustment allowances under the Trade Act of 1974<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Unemployment assistance under the Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For complete information on each of the benefits listed, see chapter 12 in IRS Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax, or Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-medium-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eztaxreturn.com\/ezrouter.html?action=start_return&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=tipsunemploymentbenefits&amp;gid=tipsunemploymentbenefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get Started Now<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Report Union Benefits Correctly\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must report benefits paid to you as an unemployed member of a union from regular union dues. However, if you contribute to a special union fund and your payments to the fund are not deductible, you only need to include in your income the unemployment benefits that exceed the amount of your contributions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-4-consider-tax-withholding-on-your-benefits\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Consider Tax Withholding on Your Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can choose to have federal income tax withheld from your unemployment compensation. To make this choice, complete Form W-4V, Voluntary Withholding Request, and give it to the paying office. Tax will be withheld at 10 percent of your payment. Withholding your taxes from your benefits can help you avoid a large tax bill come tax day. If you choose not to have tax withheld, you may have to make estimated tax payments throughout the year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-5-unemployment-can-impact-your-eligibility-for-tax-credits\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

For instance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/child-tax-credit-whats-new-faq\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=tipsunemploymentbenefits&amp;gid=tipsunemploymentbenefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Child Tax Credit<\/a> is a partially refundable credit worth up to $2,000 per qualifying dependent. But because it reduces your tax bill dollar for dollar, you have to have taxable income to claim it. If your tax bill is less than $2,000, you won\u2019t be able to use the full credit and you won\u2019t be eligible to claim the Additional Child Tax Credit (which requires more than $2,500 in earned income for the year).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/eitc-awareness-day\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=tipsunemploymentbenefits&amp;gid=tipsunemploymentbenefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Earned Income Credit<\/a> is a valuable tax credit for low income taxpayers. But Social Security and unemployment benefits do not qualify as earned income.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re dealing with unemployment benefits this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eztaxreturn.com\/ezrouter.html?action=start_return&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=tipsunemploymentbenefits&amp;gid=tipsunemploymentbenefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ezTaxReturn<\/a> can help.
