@flyty-123 It's hard to figure out what you are trying to ask since you are using so few words. Are you asking if you need to enter unemployment on a tax return? Yes, you do.

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.

@jandj0111

If you have a 1099-G for state income tax refund, follow these steps.

With your return open in TurboTax, search for 1099-G or 1099-g and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.

Important! Make sure to include the dash in your search, or you'll end up on the unemployment/paid family leave screen.

On the Did you have any of these types of income? screen, answer Yes.
On the next screen, select State or local income tax refunds and click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your state/locality, refund amount, and tax year.

You would need to amend 2018 to include any information from 2018.

@SoniaR733 To a fairly old thread about where to enter a 1099G, you posted one word today: "Copy." Was that supposed to be a question? Do you need help with something?

what if the 1099G form is the only thing you have to file? How do I report it or file it? I did not work due to the pandemic but I did receive unemployment. How would I go about filing only the 1099G?

@Boom400 Click this link for instructions on How to Enter a 1099-G for Unemployment or Paid Family Leave.

You can file a tax return with only a 1099-G.

The easiest way is through the Search function. After you have logged in and are in your return in TurboTax Online:

Go to Search at the top of the screen.
then enter Form 1099G in the search box.
You will see a Jump To function that will take you to the 1099G input screens.
Note you can jump to the unemployment screens or the state refund screens, depending on the type.

If you have a different 1099G for a state or local tax refund, post back---that gets entered in a different way.

You have to be all the way inside of your return before you search. After you sign in, make sure you click on ''Pick up where I left off'' before you search. @Noppie3503

Form 1099-G reports certain types of government payments you received during the tax year. Examples include unemployment, paid family leave, or if you received a state or local tax refund for a prior tax year.

Many types of 1099-G income are taxable, including unemployment, although it is your total income (from all sources) that determines whether or not you need to pay taxes on 1099-G payments. Determine whether or not you need to pay taxes.

The 1099-G is also used to report less common sources of income, including taxable energy grants, agricultural payments, and others. See below for instructions on how to enter 1099-Gs.

Where do I enter a 1099-G for a state or local tax refund?

Where do I report a 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave?

Do I need to report the state or local refund I got last year? Is it taxable?

What other types of 1099s do you need instructions for?
