There was not an unemployment compensation exclusion on a 2021 federal tax return.  

The UC exclusion was for tax year 2020.

Go to this IRS website for information on the 2020 Unemployment compensation exclusion - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-completes-automatic-corrections-of-tax-year-2020-accounts-related-t...

 

If a taxpayer is eligible for the unemployment compensation exclusion and their account was not corrected by the IRS, they may need to file an amended 2020 tax return to claim the exclusion and any applicable non-refundable or refundable credits impacted by the exclusion.
