Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Colleen527,

 

Sorry to hear that it took such a lengthy time before your husband received unemployment benefits. You ask a great question. Unfortunately, no one knows exactly what Congress may do. I can tell you that at this time there is no law that has passed exempting unemployment benefits received in 2021 from tax. You might want to communicate with your representatives in Congress to let them know that this issue is important to you. With the pandemic still ongoing there are surely many folks still receiving unemployment in 2021 who would benefit from an exemption. 

 

I hope this helps answer your question!
