It depends. If you received your 1099-G from your state unemployment office and it includes an amount that was overpaid to you, the action will depend when it was paid back to the state unemployment office.

1. Received unemployment in 2023 which included an overpayment and paid it back in 2023.  if that is the case you will reduce your unemployment by the amount of the repayment.

Then, please follow the instructions below:

1. Open your return > Search > Type 1099G > Click the Jump to... link
2. Answer Yes to the question Were you required to repay unemployment benefits (uncommon)?
3. Answer Yes to the question Did you pay back any government unemployment from 2022 or earlier?  ONLY if you also repaid prior year benefits!
4. Edit your 1099-G and in the box asking 2023 benefits repaid, Don't enter benefits repaid for 2022 or earlier. Enter only the amount of benefits received and repaid both in 2023.

If you did repay any benefit for amounts you received in a year before 2023, complete the next screen to enter those amounts.
