For others reading this post in the future ... there is no such thing as an unemployment CREDIT. There is an EXCLUSION of up to $10,200 ($20,400 if married) from your taxable income which reduces your taxable income and decreases your federal taxes which in turn will either increase your refund or decrease your balance due.
For those who have already filed without the EXCLUSION on Sch 1 line 8 then the IRS will eventually correct this situation and adjust the bottom line. Do NOT send in an amended return until you see what the IRS does first. Filing an amended return too early can cause things to be delayed for months.
