Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The law says
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—In the case of any taxable year beginning
in 2020, if the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer for such
taxable year is less than $150,000, the gross income of such
taxpayer shall not include so much of the unemployment compensation
received by such taxpayer (or, in the case of a joint
return, received by each spouse) as does not exceed $10,200.
When filing MFJ, "taxpayer" means the entire tax return, when filing MFS, each spouse is a "taxpayer". So the limit is applied per taxpayer and not per household, if you file MFS.
