Okay so i forgot to file my unemployment when i filed February 2nd!!!! I tried doing an amend and you guys told me not to cause the IRS were making the changes when it came to unemployment, i’ve been waiting and waiting and cannot even get in touch with the IRS. Since i filed with you guys, y’all should be able to give me some type of answers. The person I filed with last year stayed up on updates but i’ve heard nothing from you nor the IRS. what’s going on?

You actually need to amend your return to include the Unemployment compensation that you received. TurboTax has updated their software to reflect the $10,200.00 exclusion of Unemployment benefits for 2020.

you guys keep telling me but every time i go to it it tells me that the IRS will update it, which they have yet to do so it’s confusing info being told.

You do need to amend you return using the instructions in the above post.

TurboTax has been updated with the IRS guidance on how to address unemployment for 2020.

Not all states are updated yet as some states are still deciding how to address the issue.

But you can complete your Federal amended return and file it today.
