It seems NC has reversed its decision on following the federal for exempting the first 10,200 of unemployment benefits. The NC program does not add it back automatically and since NC does not have a special line for it on page 2 the program will not let you efile the NC return. Please help

NCDOR is going to have a lot of paper returns to process. I have not seen any mention of the NCDOR allowing Tax Software to e-file tax returns with unemployment added back to income.

Why not use addition to AGI and add back the UCE on the "other" line?

If you put an amount on the "other" line on the Sch S for the NC, ProSeries will pop up an error window that states amounts entered on the "other" line are not eligible for e-filing.

Anyone know if there are any updates to this issue? Are you mailing in the NC returns or just waiting for a resolution?

We are waiting until 4/10/2021 to see what happens.

It's actually fixed! I was so focused on Schedule S but just noticed that they are adding it directly to line 7 of the return so I removed my adjustment so I can e-file now.

Is April 10th the day they will determine if it will be excluded from income?

I just reviewed one of my NC returns and it seems that the latest ProSeries update has added back the exclusion.

Correct, NC does not exclude UC as of today anyway.
