After you file

If the 1099-G was for tax year 2021, it may also be worth noting that you may be experiencing a case of identity theft where someone else used your information to receive unemployment benefits.  Your state is sending you this form because they think you’re the one that received this income. 

If you received a Form 1099-G from your state reflecting unemployment benefits, but didn’t actually receive unemployment benefits last year, you should contact your state to request a revised form (corrected 1099-G).

You can find your state’s contact information in the TurboTax Help article What if I got a 1099-G but never actually received unemployment benefits?
