Once again you are not reading the entire email ... they are not talking about amending for the unemployment exclusion. They are talking about other items you MAY now be entitiled to that were not on the original return. NOTE : you may now be eligible for additional deductions, credits or benefits and if you are only then will you need to amend ... but once again you should only amend AFTER the IRS has fully processed the return which is happening in 2 parts this year. So you technically amended too early and it will not even be looked at until the original return has been processed first. And even then amended returns are taking more than 4 months to process ... could be up to a year.
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 and state returns.
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 any additional deductions and credits you are now eligible for, you will need to file an amended federal AND state tax return.
Amending is easy, and our experts are here to help. Simply log in to your account and select "Amend using TurboTax Online," and we'll guide you through it. In the unlikely event that these additional credits or deductions result in a product upgrade with additional fees, just continue with the amend process. You will reach a screen with instructions on how to contact an expert who will remove the fees. Everyone will be able to file their amended returns to gain these benefits at no additional cost.
Thank you again for being a TurboTax customer.
Sincerely,
TurboTax Care Team"
