The software is updated for the unemployment tax law change. Just enter your 1099G and the software will take care of the calculations for that.

Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment

Go through the screens very carefully, making sure to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.

Yes and Turbo Tax has been updated. It is automatic. Unless your AGI is over $150,000 then you don't qualify. Just enter the 1099G for the total unemployment you got.

The exclusion will be on Schedule 1 Line 8 as a negative number. Your unemployment compensation will be on Line 7 of Schedule 1. The result flows to Form 1040 Line 8.

If the exclusion is not showing up then delete the 1099G and re enter it.
