IRS didn't make the community-property rule. States with a legal history that can be traced to the Napoleonic code, made the community-property rule. Each spouse has unemployment income. Each spouse gets the exclusion.
If Congress wanted to instruct IRS to ignore community-property law, they could have done so, as they have in other statutes.
