I know this thread was about COVID hardship withdrawals but if you did experience a hardship, my note below may also apply to you.
If you received unemployment in 2020, don't be in a rush to file.
The most recent COVID-19 bill (expected to become law on Friday 3/12) will make some portion of UI benefits not taxable. You can easily do a web search to find out the details (the amount) so I won't get into that here. Of course, it will be a while before the IRS (and TT) incorporate the changes so if you can, it's probably advisable to wait. I'm guessing that the April 15 filing date will be pushed out again this year.
I had received some UI in 2020 but e-filed my federal return 2 weeks ago.
For me, it means eventually filing an amended return.
Amended returns are likely going to sit and as it is, my 2019 refund is still "in process." :(
