For the Unemployment 10,200 exclusion......
Turbo Tax is updated for it. You don't have to do anything special to get it. It is automatic. Just enter the full amount on your 1099G. If the exclusion doesn't show up you may need to update the Desktop program. Go up to Online-Check for Updates, for Mac close and open the program. If updating doesn't fix it try doing a manual update for Windows
If updating doesn't help or you are using the Online version then delete the 1099G and re enter it.
Or do you have a high income?
If you have unemployment you can exclude up to 10,200 (per spouse) if your income is under $150,000. Your unemployment compensation will be on Schedule 1 line 7. The exclusion will be on Schedule 1 Line 8 as a negative number. The result flows to Form 1040 Line 8.
Yes, if you filed after the law changes then the unemployment exclusion is already reported on line 8 of Schedule 1.
If your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is less than $150,000, then you can exclude up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation paid in 2020 from your taxable income. Amounts over $10,200 for each individual are still taxable.
If you filed before the law changes then please see IRS to recalculate taxes on unemployment benefits; refunds to start in May
