Are changes for the unemployment in 2020 going to be put into TurboTax prior to the may filing date?

The changes have been in the software for weeks now.   Enter your 1099G and let the software automatically calculate how much--if any--of your unemployment is taxable.

 

You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.

 

Some states will mail out the 1099G.  Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site.

 

Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment

 

Go through the screens very carefully, making sure  to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.
