My NYS clients that have up to $10,200 of unemployment excluded on the 1040 also have it excluded on their  NYS return.  This exclusion is contrary to New York States Tax Department notice which states that NYS is not excluding $10,200 of unemployment compensation. 

Who programmed the NYS forms to exclude the unemployment compensation?  This is wrong and must be reprogrammed ASAP.  Does anyone have any information or guidance about when this will occur?

Programming to conform to the federal law should not have been done for the states until we absolutely  heard their official position on the exclusion.  What a mess.
