I am having trouble determining if a $10,200 unemployment credit has been factored in.  It does not appear so based on taxes owed.  I do not see anywhere that it has been deducted from taxable income.  I began these taxes months ago.  Has software updated?  Do I need to start over to ensure this update gets calculated?  I appreciate any help!

    it's not a credit. it's a deduction showing up on schedule 1 line 8 with the code UCE

    I checked and it is not showing up as a deduction.  Schedule 1 line 8 is blank.  What fields do I need to complete for this to calculate?  And thanks for you assistance.

    Did you enter the 1099-G?   And what is your AGI?   The 10,200 exclusion is not applicable if your AGI is too high.    The income should show up on Schedule 1 - Line 7 and then the subtraction should be on Line 8 of the same schedule.   See below.
