Millions of Americans are suddenly getting an unwanted crash course on the U.S. unemployment compensation system, courtesy of the coronavirus pandemic. How do I apply for benefits? How much will I get? How long will they last? These are some of the more pressing questions that newly unemployed people have right now. But, before long, another question will likely spring to mind: Will I have to pay taxes on my unemployment benefits?
When it comes to federal income taxes, the answer is yes. Uncle Sam taxes unemployment benefits as if they were wages. However, when it comes to state income taxes, it's a bit of a mixed bag.
