Sorry. Only very simple Form 1040 returns that do not require the use of any other forms or schedules can be prepared using the Free Edition. A 1099G for unemployment requires the use of extra forms, so you cannot use Free Edition with unemployment income.
In order to use TurboTax you must upgrade to Deluxe.
