In Colorado, the federal exclusion of the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits is still taxable for 2020. Is this amount added back as an adj. for the state return?

[MaryK4]

Yes, Colorado is taxing unemployment in full so you must add back the federal exclusion.

[Cowboyseth]

How do you do that in filing?

[Cowboyseth]

I get to the screen that says federal -10200.  What do I put in for colorado then the next screen says federal 10200 what do I put in for colorado

[CatinaT1]

TurboTax will take care of this for you.

[Cowboyseth]

Yea but I don't know what numbers I need to put in those two screens for the unemployment 

[CatinaT1]

I'm not sure which screens you are referring to.  You will enter your 1099-G (unemployment) form in the federal portion of the return and it will be carried over to your state return.

[Cowboyseth]

[CatinaT1]

Assuming you live in Colorado, you will enter the amount of unemployment you received in the Colorado boxes here.  If the amount of unemployment received was greater than $10,200, you will enter the maximum amount of $10,200.

[Cowboyseth]

I do not live in colorado but earned unemployment in colorado   so I can enter -10200 in for colorado on screen 1 and then 10200 on screen number 2 since that affects colorado 

[Cowboyseth]

I just dont know what i need to enter on the above 2 screens

[Cowboyseth]

Can i assume i enter -10200 and 10200 on those screens respectively?

[CatinaT1]

Yes, because that amount is attributed to Colorado.
