The IRS allows households with less than $150,000 of modified adjusted gross income to exempt the first $10,200 of unemployment for the taxpayer and spouse.

 

The exempt amount appears as a subtraction on line 8 of Schedule 1 with the code "UDE".

 

You can see this by previewing your Form 1040.
