Atkimark,
There seem to be a number of issues with the downloadable version that I’m not seeing with the disc version. No idea why.
If you are not filling the 1040-NR, then you don’t qualify for the exclusion and this could explain the issue. If you are a citizen and filing a 1040, then you might double check that you haven’t answered any questions that might have you misclassified. This would cause TurboTax to not apply the exclusion.
Barring that here are a few things to try regarding the UCE:
1. Under “View” change to See Forms fro Step-by-step. Then try to search for “The Unemployment Compensation Exclusion Worksheet“. If you made under $150,000 in 2020, then I believe you can just enter 10, 200 on line 3. I don’t have that worksheet in front of me but you will be able to easily tell if it should be entered as a negative (in parentheses) or a positive. I believe it is the latter. Then try going back to Step-by-Step and see if it picks up where you left off and guides you.
2. In a similar way you could bypass the worksheet in option 1 and go straight to schedule 1 and enter ($10,200) on line 8. The parentheses will make the number a negative value and will reduce your income on schedule 1 by the UCE.
The value of the first option is that it may help you avoid an error message when you finish your return and run the review. Or if you do get an error it may take you to the worksheet and have you fill in additional information so it ultimately calculates your UCE on line 8 of schedule 1.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
