The agent is uninformed. The IRS does not want amended returns with a 1099-G for unemployment at this time until they issue guidelines how to amend other related items because the IRS is going to adjust already filed returns themselves for the unemployment exclusion and they do not want an amended return doing the same thing.
Since amended returns are currently taking 4-6 months to process, the IRS's internal adjustment will have happened long before the amended return is even processed.
