State tax filing

I recommend reviewing your input into the program to ensure you are only reported your income from your 1099-G.  You will need to verify this information was not entered as wages.

 

Log back into TurboTax.

  1. Go to the Federal section of the program. 
  2. Select Income & Expenses
  3. Select Job (W-2)
  4. Select the little trash can icon to the right of the applicable W-2 entry if you do not have any wages to report to remove this from your tax return.  This will also remove the error you are receiving.

W-2 deletion

 

Your 1099-G information should be entered as follows:

  1. Select Income & Expenses
  2. Scroll down to All Income and select Unemployment
  3. Select Unemployment and paid family leave
  4. You will be able to enter your information from your Form 1099-G

I have also attached a link with more details on how to locate the information you need from your Form 1099-G.

Once you make the corrections above, the error should be gone and you will be able to proceed with your tax return.
