Do you have to file by mail if waiving $10,200 of unemployment payments? I do not see a way to e-file if following IRS website direction.

Efile does not allow for a negative figure in the "Other Income" section. I beleive this is where the IRS wants the negative amount listed.

I would wait for the software to be updated.

I would not file by mail.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

E-file definitely DOES allow for a negative figure under "other income". That is how a Net Operating Loss Carryover/Carryback is entered.
