    Unemployment dropped off 1040?

    LizPS
    Level 4

    On 3/15 I generated Form 8879 and sent it to my client.  I receive it back on 3/20 and did not think to double check everything since the return had not been touched.  I transmitted his returns.  Not until I was writing up notes did I realize that his 1099-G unemployment "dropped" from the 1040 and this AGI calculation reducing tax liability by $1000 and screwing up the State return as well.

    Was there a system change?  Do I need to file amended returns now?

    Liz there was a recent update to take into account the exclusion of the first $10,200 of unemployment compensation received, per recent tax law change.. Do a search of this forum and you can read all about it.. Just my opinion

    Your federal return as filed is probably correct but your state return may be messed up.
