Get your taxes done using TurboTax
here is the update I received today for my Windows desktop TT Deluxe. I did check forms mode and there are no changes to schedule 1 line 8.
Claiming American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) benefits
There are two ways to claim your ARPA benefits:
1. Apply your benefits to your tax return before you file We're working to include these benefits as part of your return this year. Once the updates are ready, we'll send you an email letting you know it's time to file. All you have to do is sign back in to TurboTax, review and pay for your return, and file. During the review, we'll automatically adjust your numbers to reflect your new benefits.
2. Get your benefits after the IRS processes your return
If you file before our update is complete, your benefits won't be added to the tax return you are preparing now. You can still get them, but the IRS will have to process your tax return first. We'll let you know if any further action is needed, like filing an amended return.
Important: Do not make your own adjustments in TurboTax.
You should file a fully accurate return if you decide to file now. A lot of the calculations in TurboTax affect multiple areas of your tax return. Making your own adjustments could create issues with these calculations and cause problems with the IRS and potentially, some states.
