After you file

UEC  -10,200 on line 8 of Schedule 1  is the adjustment for unemployment. If your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is less than $150,000, then you can exclude up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation paid in 2020 from your taxable income because of the American Rescue Plan. This will be entered on line 8 of Schedule 1.  Amounts over $10,200 for each individual are still taxable.

 

Please see IRS to recalculate taxes on unemployment benefits; refunds to start in May and Why can't I amend my return? for additional information.
