Tax Planning - First $2,400 of Unemployment Benefits Tax Free for 2009

If you receive unemployment benefits this tax year (2009) all or part of it may be tax-free.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, makes the first $2,400 of unemployment insurance exempt from tax. So you can exclude the first $2400 of these benefits when you file your tax return next year. If you are married, the exclusion applies to each spouse separately.
"No matter who you are, making informed decisions about what you do with your money, will help build a more stable financial future for you and your family." Alan Greenspan
