Non-qualified deferred compensation is generally not considered taxable income for federal unemployment benefits until it is actually received by the employee. When the deferred compensation is paid out, it may then be subject to income tax, but it does not count as wages for unemployment benefit calculations. Therefore, while it can affect the recipient's overall tax situation, it does not impact their eligibility for unemployment benefits.
As each state, that collects income taxes, has different criteria, you need to check with your state's tax commission, or its equivalent. The unemployment taxes are subject to the IRS' income taxes.
Because unemployment compensation is, at least, Federal income taxable, if during the year you have other income which puts you in a taxable bracket, and you overpaid your taxes, then like any other tax payer you would be entitled to a refund.
The state can't take overpayment of unemployment benefits from a Federal tax refund. Some states have provisions to deduct such from the state tax refund of their state. Most states will take a percentage of future unemployment benefits to pay off unemployment compensation overpayment.
