Get your taxes done using TurboTax

TurboTax has been update to allow e-filing with new $10,200 unemployment benefit exclusion from the American Rescue Plan Act. I would suggest deleting the 1099-G information and re-entering.   After you have logged in and are in your return in TurboTax Online:

 

  • Go to Search at the top of the screen.
  • Enter Form 1099-G in the search box. 
  • You will see a Jump To function that will take you to the 1099-G input screens. 
  • Delete the 1099-G in question by clicking on the trash can next to the form
  • Then add a new 1099-G.

This update was completed 3/25.  If you e-filed your return with unemployment benefits prior to that date and your return was accepted, the IRS is not processing those refunds until they get the programming updated so they wont have to deal with thousands of amended returns.
