Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your unemployment benefits will be reported on a Form 1099-G but those are used for government payments and can be entered in different places in the return, depending on the reason for the payment.
 

I suggest you delete any Form 1099-Gs in the return and then go back to enter it in the section for unemployment benefits. 

To delete a duplicate form,  you can use Delete Forms

 

  1. In the left menu, select Tax Tools
  2. Select Tools
  3. Select Delete a form
  4. Scroll to the Form 1099G that is duplicated and click Delete on the right
  5. Repeat for any other Form 1099-Gs
  6. Then scroll to the bottom and select Continue with my return

That will delete any duplications and you can now enter the unemployment benefits in the correct section.

 

  1. Return to Wages and Income, on the left
  2. Scroll down to Unemployment and click Show More
  3. Click on Start or Revisit for Unemployment and paid family leave

If you still show duplicate income check the other sections of Wages and Income to see if any say Revisit, rather than Start.
