Keep in mind, 1099-G form is every important to anyone who are receiving or received unemployment benefit in 2020 and later, because:
a. Unemployment benefit is taxable and you have to show it as your unearned-income in your tax return 2020
b. Due to CARES update on March 2021, people who received unemployment benefit will get tax exempt for the first $10,200 from total unemployment benefit which mean you may not pay any tax if your total unemployment benefit in 2020 is under $10,200 and you may reduce (get more refund) if you paid the Federal Tax Withheld for your unemployment benefit already
