When will Turbo tax be updated for the new exemption for unemployment benefits? Is the exemption up to 10,200 per taxpayer (20400 for joint filers?)

This is for the 2020 Tax Year, and was passed recently by the American Rescue Plan.

After the legislation has passed Congress and after the President has signed the legislation and after the IRS has written the rules, regulations and procedures.  And after the IRS has changed any forms or schedules to accept the tax code changes.  And after the IRS has approved the changes in the TurboTax program that apply to the tax code changes, then it will be available for the users of the tax preparation software.

 

This can take anywhere from several weeks to several months before it becomes available.
