Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The information you shared is an electronic version of Form 1099-G that reports the unemployment that you received in 2020.  

 

When you are working on your tax return and entering information for Form 1099-G, you will enter the total amount of unemployment compensation you received and the Federal taxes that were withheld.  Since there were no state taxes withheld, you will not need to enter those details.  

 

When you are ready to enter the information about your unemployment, use the following steps in TurboTax:

 

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “unemployment” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to unemployment
  • Click on the blue “Jump to unemployment” link
