I received an email saying the TurboTax software would update today to be able to claim the unemployment deduction credit from the new relief bill. However, when I signed in to review, nothing was updated. Any status on this?

"Today" has a long time to go - until midnight.

Its now 3/24 I have received no update to the software. I guess its time to talk to someone live to find out what the deal is.

The normal scheduled desktop update day is Thursday after noon pacific time - that is 3/25. The last update was Thursday 3/18 but that was to late to include this change since it takes a week to recompile and test 8 difference Windows and Mac versions.

Hello,

I had taxes taken out of my unemployment automatically. I have not filed my taxes yet through Turbo Tax, and there appears no way to claim or record it. How do I get the taxes paid back for exempt first $10,200 of unemployment? Will they update the software automatically and how will I know they have done this?
