Taxpayers who already filed and included their unemployment income have been instructed by the IRS to wait. It is possible that the IRS will adjust their tax returns without requiring an amended return.
However in your son’s case, since you never reported the unemployment compensation, you do need to file an amended return and report it. It will not be taxable if it is less than $10,200, but it may change certain other calculations. TurboTax may refused to allow you to e-file the tax return amended tax return if there is no change in the dollars owed or due as a refund, in which case you should print the amended tax return and mail it to the IRS.
