Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Start by deleting the 1099-G that you entered.  You can do this by clicking tools>>Tax tools>>Delete a form then delete next to the 1099-G.

 

 What was this 1099-G for?  If it was for a state refund, did you itemize your return last year?  If not, then you do not need to enter it on your return at all.  If you did itemize last year and received a refund then you will need to enter the 1099-G under Other Common Income State and Local Tax Refunds. 

 

If it is for taxable grants or some other government payments, then you can select Other 1099-G Income.

 

If it is for Unemployment, then you would need to enter it where unemployment benefits on form 1099-G.

 

So basically, after you delete the 1099-G that is giving you errors, be sure to enter it in the correct spot for the type of 1099-G it is.
