Hi there! Any idea as to when your software will be updated to reflect the $10,200 unemployment tax break that our President signed into law last week? Thank you!

At this time, we don't have any information on how the IRS is going to handle the $10,200 unemployment. Once the IRS provides additional guidance, TurboTax will be updated to reflect these new tax laws relating to unemployment. 

 

If you haven’t filed your 2020 taxes yet and would like to receive progress status updates, please sign up here. 

 

As part of the recently passed American Rescue Plan, the first $10,200 worth of unemployment payments are now tax-free for households with annual incomes less than $150,000. This expanded tax relief begins this year, starting for taxpayers filing returns after January 1, 2020.
