URGENT (By the 17th!) Redeem in Lawful Money for the first time with unemployment.

[FRG]

Foremost - have you been making demand for lawful money?

How have you been receiving your pandemic unemployment? By direct deposit? So have you made demand on your bank's signature card?



The internal algorithms to TurboTax are impossible to work with. You disable them, then fill out the redeemed lawful money return and then submit it. Usually on paper in the mail, I hear. It is not tailored around redemption.

I have NOT been making demand for lawful money. Doing this now would be my first time.

I have been receiving my unemployment for a year through my bank account with direct deposit. My debit card is associated with this account, too.

I used TurboTax to know exactly what the State and Fed were asking of me after the initial $10,200 of the full amount of unemployment they are "forgiving" for everyone on it. I figured that's how I'll know what to redeem and have been given two amounts I can hopefully redeem as stated in my original post.

So I have a week from today to file, postmarked by the 17th. What can I do from here? Is it still possible so soon? Thanks!

(P.S. - Not sure if it matters, but I changed the name of my checking and savings accounts ONLINE to "Lawful Money Checking 12USC411" etc. just a few days ago.)
