New exclusion of up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation
For people with a modified adjusted gross income (AGI) less than $150,000: the American Rescue Plan enacted on March 11, 2021, excludes from income up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation paid in 2020. People don’t have to pay tax on unemployment compensation of up to $10,200. If married, each spouse receiving unemployment compensation doesn’t have to pay tax on unemployment compensation of up to $10,200. Amounts over $10,200 for each individual are still taxable. If modified AGI is $150,000 or more, people can’t exclude any unemployment compensation.
