Question

Now that Unemployement money is not taxed, does this mean that the taxes that were retained by DEO for around 500 could be claimed back?

You are among millions who have now been affected by a mid-tax season change in the tax law.  Patience will be necessary.

TurboTax will update the software for the unemployment but there is no timeline yet.

  If you have not e-filed yet—-wait.   And if you already e-filed and want to amend for this—WAIT.

All TurboTax editions, online and desktop, were updated with the unemployment compensation exclusion on 03/26.
