Unemployment income wages not taxable

[claudezzy]

Is the update available for the Unemployment Income Tax exemption? Do I have to remove the unemployment income from my wages information? Should I remove the income tax information for my unemployment wages?

You do not delete the unemployment compensation already entered on your tax return.  The TurboTax program will calculate the exclusion.

The unemployment compensation exclusion was updated across all TurboTax platforms, online and desktop, on 03/26/2021.

The exclusion is reported on Schedule 1 Line 8 as a negative number.  The unemployment compensation received is on Line 7 of Schedule 1.  The result flows to Form 1040 Line 8.
