Hi, NYC partner here!
You only have to pay it back (owe taxes) if you chose for the state and federal NOT to take taxes out of your unemployment checks. It’s not an automatic option for them to take out taxes. While you were filing, it should’ve asked you if you wanted state or federal taxes taken out.
Now on how to pay it back, you’ll know next tax filing season if you owe federal or state taxes.
Cheers!
