Stepdaughter laid off in November 23, she has been using HR Block free file, (I've never dealt with declaring unemployment income) can she still use it? Thanks.


It appears that she can. She will get a Form 1099-G from the state for the unemployment benefits. On the tax return it is reported on Schedule 1 line 7. H&R Block's list of free federal forms includes Schedule 1 and Form 1099-G for unemployment. Here is a link to the H&R Block list.

Note that many states do not send the Form 1099-G in the mail. If not, she will have to download it from the state unemployment web site.
