Retirement tax questions

The payer of your 1099-G is most likely using a non-standard form with different box numbers. TurboTax uses the boxes as they are laid out on the standard form.

 

Please enter the below information that appears on your 1099-G in the following boxes on TurboTax: 

  • Enter unemployment compensation in Box 1.
  • Enter federal income tax withheld in Box 4.
  • Select state in the dropdown menu in Box 10a.
  • Enter the state income tax withheld in Box 11

You can contact the payer of the 1099-G and ask that they give you their state ID number (standard form Box 10b). Sometimes, you are even able to get this information from the state website.
