TAX: 2020 Unemployment Compensation Exclusion
The American Rescue Plan Act, which was signed into law March 11, 2021, retroactively excluded up to $10,200 in unemployment compensation from federal taxable income for tax year 2020. To qualify, taxpayers were required to have a modified gross income below $150,000. When the American Rescue Plan Act was enacted, a Department rule provided that retroactive changes in federal law did not affect a taxpayer's Colorado income tax liability. In accordance with this rule, the Department advised taxpayers who had filed their federal and state returns that they should not amend their state return to remove the excludable unemployment compensation.
