To enter your 1099-G reporting unemployment, use these steps:
- On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
- This opens a box where you can type in “unemployment” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
- The search results will give you an option to “Jump to unemployment”
- Click on the blue “Jump to unemployment” link to get started
Here are some helpful tips to consider when entering your information reporting unemployment:
- If you had state taxes withheld from your unemployment, but there is not a state ID number on your form, then use the Federal ID number in box 10b.
- If you did not have any state taxes withheld, then leave all the boxes blank (boxes 10a, 10b, and 11). This includes the dropdown box for the state name.
- If anything is entered in box 10a, 10b, or 11, then all of them must be filled in to avoid an error condition causing you to review the entry.
