I have already filed my tax and already got accepted. Then I found out earlier about the Maryland RELIEF act that says that I am now exempt from federal and state tax for my unemployment. Do I need to file an amendment? and if so what changes should I do if I file an amendment?

I emailed the Comptroller of Maryland on February 15, 2021 regarding this question. The reply came that you must send an amended return and that they will have the forms on their website "soon."

I am waiting for the TurboTax software to update with this change. I just finished my taxes after updating TurboTax today and it shows the unemployment income as taxable still.

I am hoping that TurboTax will get with the program soon.

Has Turbo tax updated to file amended return for the Maryland unemployment tax relief act? If not when will it be updated.

Turbo Tax anticipates that form 1040-X will be available within the program towards the end of March. You may check back periodically.

The Federal return you don’t need to do nothing but state you will have to file an amended tax return.

even though i haven't even filed neither of those? I thought if I filed state already, I needed to file amended tax return to get the difference back?
