Are unemployment benefits fully taxable in 2021?

If taxable, will this mess with the new-and-improved earned income credit?

For now, yes.  It might be changed with legislation this year, or maybe by March of next year.  You just never know.  And since EIC depends on AGI, it makes a difference.

You must be an optimist.   🙂  With as incompetent as Congress is, I think March is being optimistic.
