Now that the Covid relief bill has offered tax relief on unemployment up to $10,200 for 2020, How do I get back the money I already paid on unemployment?

[stlukes21]

I filed in late January. I had taxes withheld from my PUA unemployment in 2020, and paid additional taxes on top of what was withheld when I filed. Will I receive that money back from the government? Do I need to amend my return.

You are among millions who have now been affected by a mid-tax season change in the tax law.  Patience will be necessary.

TurboTax will update the software for the unemployment but there is no timeline yet.

  If you have not e-filed yet—-wait.   And if you already e-filed and want to amend for this—WAIT.
