I'm amending my tax return to add form 1099-G which was an unemployment benefit in the year 2023 in Denver. I can't submit due to locality and local tax are blank?

In form 1099-G there is only the state income tax refund amount but for the federal tax withheld is zero.

It sounds like you chose to have no federal tax withheld from your unemployment benefits and only had some state tax withheld.   Your 1099G for unemployment does not show a "refund" amount---it shows how much tax was withheld.   Depending on how much other income you received in 2023, you *might* receive a state refund.    Many states tax unemployment benefits.   And there is federal tax on unemployment.

 

Enter the amounts shown on the 1099G.    It would be unusual to have local tax withheld from unemployment benefits.   When you enter the amounts from the 1099G, just do not enter anything for federal or for local tax--leave those spaces blank.

 

 

Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return. 

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

 

 

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.
