The desktop edition software has not yet been updated.  We expect it will be available by 03/25 as a software update.

The IRS says that they should not amend their tax returns at this time and wait for guidance from the IRS.

IRS statement - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-statement-american-rescue-plan-act-of-2021

For those who received unemployment benefits last year and have already filed their 2020 tax return, the IRS emphasizes they should not file an amended return at this time, until the IRS issues additional guidance.
