Do I put pandemic unemployment under standard unemployment?

You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.

 

Some states will mail out the 1099G.  Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site.

 

Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment

 

Go through the screens very carefully, making sure  to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.

Yes, unemployment compensation is entered as usual.  Unfortunately, it is taxable.

If your AGI is $150,000 or less the federal tax on the first $10,200 of unemployment is waived.  The software takes care of that automatically.   Some states are also using that amount to waive the tax on unemployment; other states do not tax it at all.   And.....a few states tax all of your unemployment.
