This year’s unemployment tax

@valari12 Thanks for the question.

 

Most likely, yes. There IRS has made no indication that legislation is underway to exclude unemployment compensation as it was in 2020. However, we never know! As of right now, unemployment benefits are taxable, so from a planning perspective it is prudent to assume that will not change.
