After you file

What?   If you received unemployment in tax year 2021, the 2021 1099G goes on your 2021 tax return.   And....there will be federal tax on it.   That tax law that waived federal tax on the first $10,200 of unemployment received was ONLY for unemployment received in 2020.   That law has not been extended for 2021.

 

If you really mean you received a 1099G for 2020 and did not put it on your 2020 tax return, you have to amend 2020 and enter it.

 

Which tax year are you asking about?
