I am on NYS unemployment and have both federal and state taxes taken out of my checks. I am also a full time college student and a single mother of 2 small children. Do I still have to file taxes and if so will I likely have to pay or do you think I will get a refund. My total unemployment compensation was $13,780.00 and federal taxes withheld were $1,378.00, state withheld were $344.24. These are according to form 1099-G that I was mailed from the state.
