Hello if we filed before the Maryland Relief Act was passed that allows unemployment to not be taxed by the state how do we get TurboTax to help us file the amendment to exclude state tax owed on unemployment benefits?

I checked this morning that would be that there not ready yet, either on the MD side or the Turbo side it makes no difference it just not available yet. When you log on to Turbo it should auto upgrade so when it upgrades you will know

To @OldRcck19 and others who continue to say that Maryland doesn't have the 502LU form ready yet...that is blatantly false.

Here is the link to the form... https://marylandtaxes.gov/forms/20_forms/502LU.pdf ...the form was posted to the Maryland website and is available in MANY online tax companies as of April 15th.

TurboTax seems to be the only major online or software company at this point that has not updated their system for whatever reason. The 502LU form is even integrated into Maryland's FREE iFile tax filing system. So there is no excuse for TurboTax to not have acted by now. By their own admission in this thread, TT saw and was trained on the new Maryland form about A MONTH AGO and still sit on their hands and do nothing!

Unemployment was taxable in 2019 on the federal level, as well as in Maryland.

In 2020, there were provisions to exclude from income up to $10,200 of unemployment at the federal level if your modified adjusted gross income was less than $150,000.

For the tax years 2020 and 2021, Maryland enacted a law stating that unemployment will not be taxed if received by an individual earning less than $75,000, and couples filing jointly or individual heads of households earning less than $100,000.
