I don't know whether you are based in Hawaii or doing the returns from out of State. I can tell you this:
Hawaii was going to pass a bill to waive tax on unemployment until the American Recovery bill put a line in that said if any State took the latest round of federal stimulus monies they could not waive state UI taxes.
The Feds are overstepping their authority but Hawaii govt backed off and other States have sued over this issue.
What I don't understand is:
If the Feds gave Hawaii stimulus money that covered UI payments how can Hawaii tax the 10,200 that the Feds are waiving. This wasn't Hawaii's money to begin with. I would to enter the amount in other Hawaii subtractions to back it out but don't know will happen if I do.
I will try to reach someone in the tax office. If I get a response i will post it.
Hawaii has also not extended the filing date for the returns. This also doesn't make sense because you have to prepare the Fed return in order to prepare the Hawaii return. But then again....I can't think of one thing this State Government has done that makes any sense.
