Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes you can use Deluxe.  Remember that if you need to prepare a state return, that is another separate fee.  And....avoid saying you want to pay the fees from your federal refund.  If you choose that, it will add another extra $40 refund processing fee.    Pay your TT fees upfront using a credit or debit card BEFORE you e-file.

 

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.
