Do i have to amend my return to get the 10,200 undmployement reimbursment

You are among millions who have now been affected by a mid-tax season change in the tax law.  Patience will be necessary.

TurboTax will update the software for the unemployment but there is no timeline yet.

  If you have not e-filed yet—-wait.   And if you already e-filed and want to amend for this—WAIT.

 

Please read this very recent news from the IRS:

Once the IRS provides additional guidance, TurboTax will be updated to reflect these new tax laws relating to unemployment. . If you've already filed, see How do I get the new unemployment benefits if I’ve already filed my taxes? to sign up for updates. 

 

As part of the recently passed American Rescue Plan, the first $10,200 worth of unemployment payments are now tax-free for households with annual incomes less than $150,000. This expanded tax relief begins this year, starting for taxpayers filing returns after January 1, 2020.
