Which program are you using? I see that Lacerte and ProConnect should roll out their update this Thursday. You can then let the software do the math. That's what you paid for.

You must have been a conservative back in the Reagan era.  Before that, unemployment was not taxable.  It was considered kicking someone when they were down.
