Unemployment tax credit

I started filing my taxes and have not completed it due to the amount owed. I received unemployment benefits for a while that was not taxed so I owe a lot this year. With Biden’s Stimulus I saw that we get credits up to 10k. Should I start my taxes all over again? Or will Turbo Tax update their systems? I haven’t seen anything about the change.

It's up to $10,200; and is a Deduction (from income), not a Credit against taxes due.
