After you file
You report your unemployment compensation on Schedule 1 of your federal tax return in the Additional Income section. The amount will be carried to the main Form 1040. Remember to keep all of your forms, including any 1099-G form you receive, with your tax records.
You will need to upgrade to Deluxe to be able to enter your unemployment information. The Free Edition does not support unemployment payments.
Where do I report a 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave?
Important: If your 1099-G shows an amount in box 2, go here for alternate instructions, as the steps below won't work.
If you're using the TurboTax mobile app, follow these instructions.
If you received unemployment payments or took paid family leave, enter your 1099-G info.
Unemployment compensation and paid family leave are entered in the same place:
- Open or continue your tax return
- Search for 1099-G and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results
- On the Did you or Spouse receive unemployment or paid family leave benefits? screen, answer Yes
- Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your 1099-G information
