TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) -- Stimulus checks, collecting unemployment, and other unique circumstances may impact your filing your tax return.
Money received through stimulus checks will not be taxed. However, if you didn't get one or believed the amount received was not enough, you can fill out a recovery rebate credit form.
According to Stadler and Company regional manager Lori Carpenter, this year will provide a new option to report unemployment benefits. They include a form that includes the sum collection added to your return or a new option.
"For some people, if they received unemployment when they would usually have income, there's an earned income credit. There's a special circumstance where they can use last year's income to claim that credit," she said.
