After you file

Again  ... the email did NOT say you needed to amend for the unemployment change ... only if there were OTHER changes that affected your return.  So if you  filed an amended return there is nothing you can do now but wait for the IRS to process the original  return and eventually the amended return (if they will not send it back for errors on column A) ... don't really know how they will handle this filing error yet.  

 

 

 

"Dear TurboTax Customer,

We are following up on our earlier email regarding the increased Unemployment benefits. Great news! In addition to the unemployment benefits, you may now be eligible for additional deductions, credits or benefits on your 2020 TurboTax federal return.

Unemployment Income: Based on the recently passed American Rescue Plan, the first $10,200 of your unemployment income may now be tax-free. Since you filed before this law was in place, you could be owed an additional payment from the IRS.

Additional Deductions and Credits: Now that some of your unemployment income is tax free, your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) may be lower. This means that you could now be eligible for additional deductions and credits.

In order to claim these additional deductions and credits, you will need to file an amended federal tax return. However, you do not need to file an amended state return at this time."
