Do I need to amend if I have filed my taxes before the tax break for unemployment had passed?

 

After you file

If you have filed. The IRS will recalculate your return for the new 10,200 unemployment exemption for you. There is no need for taxpayers to file an amended return unless the calculations make the taxpayer newly eligible for additional federal credits and deductions not already included on the original tax return.

 

See new IRS article May 14, 2021
