How do I account for for the 10,200 tax exemption in turbo tax? Do I reduce my income? I am not getting any answers through all other venues

Do I need to adjust down my income or is Turbo Tax still not updated?   I've searched multiple venues and can't seem to find an answer.

You can either wait for the desktop program to be updated or file now and the IRS will correct your return for you. The time frame for that correction is not known.

You should not make any adjustments to your income or how you input your Form 1099-G.  TurboTax Online has been updated to reflect the exemption of $10,200 of unemployment benefits, if you income is below $150,000.  If you qualify, the program will automatically calculate the amount to exclude and adjust you income and tax accordingly.

When did the update occur.  I am not seeing that yet.

I have a CD loaded desktop version of turbotax

The desktop update is scheduled for 3/25. (Probably late afternoon as usual for updates).

So when is the TurboTax Deluxe version that I purchased and loaded on my PC going to be updated.  I am still not seeing any changes when I go into finish my taxes and am getting increasingly frustrated.  Come on Turbo Tax, I paid for this version and can't get my taxes done.

The Desktop program was updated on March 26.  Try updating your program.  How to update

If updating doesn't help then delete the 1099G and re enter it.

@vikingsfan22462- - the program typically updates each week over Wed night into Thurs morning......on the toolbar, click 'Online" and then "update" - what message do you get? 

it should check for updates automatically each time you launch the program.
