Wait and see.   It is not law yet and still might get changed.     The Senate passed it with changes and now it goes back to the House where it can be changed more.

Then the IRS must write the rules and regulations  before that questions can be answered.

Until the IRS has written the regulations and procedures there is nothing for you to do.  This could take anywhere from several weeks to several months before all the rules and regulations to change the tax code are codified.

Browsing H.R. 1319 I see nothing in it that is retroactive to 2020.   It gives additional unemployment benefits for the 2021 tax year.

 I might have missed that since I quickly browsed the bill, but under the unemployment section §9963 I did not see that.   What section do you find that in?
