It depends. The IRS will provide additional guidance about what you need to do to take advantage of this relief if you already filed your 2020 tax return.
As part of the recently passed American Rescue Plan, the first $10,200 worth of unemployment payments are now tax-free for households with annual incomes less than $150,000. This expanded tax relief begins this year, starting for taxpayers filing returns after January 1, 2020.

I have filed my taxes for 2020 and i received unemployment payments totaling $13,474.00 and I had $1349.00 federal tax withheld and $24.00 of State Tax withheld. Do I need to amend my taxes so that I can get my tax returns adjusted?

TurboTax is waiting for IRS guidance on how they will handle exempt unemployment for people how have already filed tax returns.
The IRS says, "For those who received unemployment benefits last year and have already filed their 2020 tax return, the IRS emphasizes they should not file an amended return at this time, until the IRS issues additional guidance."
