Diagnostic ref. 55435
The following diagnostic will generate on returns with unemployment compensation when this box isn't checked:
The American Rescue Plan, enacted on March 11, 2021, excludes from income up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation paid in 2020 for returns with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) less than $150,000. If married, each spouse receiving unemployment compensation gets the exclusion. To apply this provision, check the "Apply the American Rescue Plan Act provisions" checkbox in the Miscellaneous input screen. (ref. #55435)
To clear this diagnostic on returns not yet filed:
- Go to Screen 3, Miscellaneous Information.
- Scroll down to the Miscellaneous section.
- Check the box labeled Apply the American Rescue Plan Act provisions.
We will turn off each state's diagnostic as soon as development of automatic calculations for that state is complete.
