After you file

Since you have more income to report and are over the unemployment income forgiveness of $10,200, yes, amend the return.

 

To do this in TurboTax, follow these steps:

To Amend(change) your 2020 TurboTax Online return, follow these steps:

  • Open the return--you will be at Tax Home.
  • Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and Show.
  • Select 2020, and Amend(change) return.

Only after the amend process has been started, then, navigate to the SSA-1099 section.

 

To enter the additional Form 1099-G in TurboTax, follow these steps:

  • Inside TurboTax with your return open, enter 1099g in the search box.
  • Select the Jump to link in the search results.
  • Enter your details.

Amending 2020 electronically is available, which will simplify this process. However, unless you live in Georgia, Michigan, New York, or Vermont, any state amended return must be paper filed.
