I had 10% withheld for Federal taxes !099-G box 4.  I read over the information regarding how the Unemployment Exclusion Worksheet is to be completed.  I had already completed my tax return but it had been rejected do to AGI that was not matching for 2019 (which I pulled the transcript and it does match what the IRS has on file). Now I want to re-calculate my return so that it includes this exclusion. I worked back through my return and it does not seem to be recalculating to include this change.  What do I need to do?

Please be aware that TurboTax is working on implementing the changes of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Please be patient.

 

If your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $150,000, then you can exclude up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation paid in 2020 from your taxable income. Amounts over $10,200 for each individual are still taxable.

 

Please see Unemployment FAQs (scroll down) for details and updates.
