Question

I am filling out the information for my 1099-G form. Is "Payer Name" my name? Is the address my current address or the address when I collected unemployment?

No, you are not the payer (you are the recipient). The Payer is the state agency that paid you the unemployment compensation. On the Enter your 1099-G info screen, you'll need to enter the payer's name, address, and federal ID number as shown on the Form 1099-G, not your personal information. (Click the attachments below to enlarge them for examples.)

Where do I find the tax ID number

Level 15

The TIN number is the Tax ID Number on Form 1099-G located under the Payer's information.

when you get a tax form turbotax expects you will enter what is on that form.
