Since ARP 2021 has passed on March 11, $10,200 of unemployment income is tax-free for income less than $150,000. Has turbotax deluxe been already updated to account that?

After the legislation has passed Congress and after the President has signed the legislation and after the IRS has written the rules, regulations and procedures.  And after the IRS has changed any forms or schedules to accept the tax code changes.  And after the IRS has approved the changes in the TurboTax program that apply to the tax code changes, then it will be available for the users of the tax preparation software.
