It is updated in the Online software, but the desktop software is not updated yet.   You can sign up here to receive an email notification when it has been completed. 

 

The first $10,200 of unemployment payments are now tax-free for households with an annual income under $150,000.   If you’ve already filed your 2020 return, hang tight. The IRS will provide guidance on how you can claim these additional benefits soon.     @ProfCEO
