I filed for an unemployment check for the week 12/25 - 12/31/2022 on 1/1/2023. Would I record this for 2022 or for 2023 (applicable week vs. when filed)?

taxable in the year received and you should be getting a 1099-G for 2023 sometime in 2024

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

 

Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return. 

 

You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.

 

Some states will mail out the 1099G.  Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site.

 

Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment

 

Go through the screens very carefully, making sure  to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.
