Due to Covid 19, unemployment is on the rise! If you are among those who have lost a job, tax season may present an opportunity to alleviate some of your financial distress.

Help from Uncle Sam
If you’re filing taxes while unemployed, be sure to keep an extra keen eye on the following deductions and credits.

Earned Income Tax Credit
If your 2018 earnings were reduced (from previous years) due to a job layoff, you may be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a credit for low-to-moderate income earners. To qualify for the EITC, you must have earned income from employment, self-employment or another source and meet certain rules. Unemployment benefits are not considered income for purposes of qualifying for the EITC. Read more about the basic qualification rules for EITC.

Job Search Benefits
Expenses related to a job search may be tax deductible — whether or not your search is successful — as long as you’re seeking new employment in the same line of work. Examples of job search tax deductions include:

Typing, printing and mailing resumes
Long-distance phone calls, postage and fax transmissions
Travel and transportation expenses connected with the job search
Employment agency fees
Job-hunting expenses are grouped as a “miscellaneous itemized deduction.” You can claim the amount of expenses that is more than 2 percent of your adjusted gross income. For more information, see IRS Publication 529.

Moving expenses also may be deducted if you are successful in your job search and it requires a move of at least 50 miles from your current home to your new job location. For more information, see IRS Publication 521.

Claim Unemployment Compensation on Your Tax Return
When filing taxes while unemployed, it’s important to remember that just because you are receiving unemployment benefits doesn’t mean you are exempt from paying taxes. When you filled out your Form W-4V, you may have elected that a percentage of your unemployment compensation be withheld for federal taxes. If you did not establish withholding in the beginning, be aware that you are required to claim unemployment on your tax return. Read more on unemployment compensa
