If you are over 55 you can avoid the 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty on it. But otherwise, no.

Yes, I'm over 55. What document would I have to five to qualify for the exemption?

Just fill out your return. It knows your age. Turbo Tax will ask you if you have any exceptions to the penalty. You don’t need any else for it.

Also note that Unemployment benefits are taxable for Federal, as well as in some states.
