11.7 Americans were eligible for a tax break that made it so the first $10,200 of unemployment collected was untaxed.
Those that filed before the law was passed March 11 are being refunded if they overpaid on their taxes.
The tax break is for those that earned less that $150,000 in 2020.
Many will see their refunds direct deposited and some will get a check in the mail.
The IRS is recalculating taxes in phases, and started with the simplest ones at the beginning of summer. The process started with single filers and married couples.
More complicated returns are taking longer to process.
