Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I have read through both threads with your questions. It looks like you have tried every version of what is correct. So, I recommend you go to the Unemployment 1099-G and enter your box 6 income as unemployment. The EWF is a form of unemployment, the form is the same, only the box number would be different. If the IRS or NY decide to send you a letter and ask why you didn't report it, you say that you did and highlight it in the return. There won't be any penalties or problems other than maybe having to send them a letter with proof that you did have it on your return.

 

I recommend:

  1. Go to 1099-G unemployment
  2. Fill in box 6 income as unemployment
  3. Select the state
  4. Check the box for federal or state tax withheld since you said state tax was withheld.
  5. Continue
  6. Fill in federal/ state tax withheld boxes
  7. Continue answering questions.

 

You will be able to file your return and be done!
