I checked the Relief Bill that was approved and the exemption for Unemployment Insurance has been included.  When will Turbo Tax update the software so I can file my taxes?


The unemployment compensation exclusion was updated across all TurboTax platforms, online and desktop, on 03/26/2021.

 

The exclusion is reported on Schedule 1 Line 8 as a negative number.  The unemployment compensation received is on Line 7 of Schedule 1.  The result flows to Form 1040 Line 8.
