How do you report unemployment income in turbo tax?

that's exactly the way it's supposed to be reported per the IRS.  report gross (line 7) then take a subtraction for the exclusion (line 8).  TurboTax computes the exclusion automatically so you need do nothing.

Due to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 the unemployment compensation exclusion is up to $10,200.  The exclusion is on Schedule 1 Line 8.
