Is Turbo Tax going to send out a software update so I can take advantage of this law BEFORE  I file my 2020 taxes on April 15,2021???

 

"A new provision waives federal taxes on the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits you received in 2020. Married couples who file jointly and both collected unemployment insurance benefits in 2020 will have taxes waived on $10,200 per person, or up to $20,400 of UI benefits total.

The waiver applies to individuals and married couples who made less than $150,000 in adjusted gross income in 2020.
