If the form you have looks different than the screen then you may be in the incorrect place since a 1099-G reports more than just unemployment.
To enter unemployment income--go to Federal>Wages and Income>Unemployment.
The 1099-G is issued if you received certain payments from federal, state, or local governments. Form 1099-G covers two types of government payments:
- Unemployment compensation or paid family leave, or
- Other Types of 1099-G income, including
- State and local tax refunds
- Business or farm tax refunds
- Market gain on Commodity Credit Corporation loans
- Taxable grants
- Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA/RTAA) payments
