Unemployment is not earned income. Only the W2 is earned income. You should have a 1099G for unemployment. Did you enter the W2? Did it show up on 1040 line 1 and any tax withholding in box 4 on line 25a. They probably want to see a copy of your actual W2to match what the employer sent in. You were suppose to attach the W2 to a mailed return. Did you miss that?
