Retirement tax questions

Was it for unemployment, a state tax refund, or something else?   The type of income affects where it goes on your tax return, how it is taxed and where it gets entered in TurboTax.  I will leave instructions for the 3 most common types of 1099-G income below.  If it is something else, let us know and we can help!      @gfer151

 

Here's where to report your 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave.   If you're using the TurboTax mobile app, follow these instructions.   Unemployment compensation and paid family leave are entered in the same place:

 

  1. Open or continue your tax return.

  2. Search for 1099-G and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
  3. On the 'Did you receive unemployment or paid family leave benefits in 2020?' screen, answer Yes.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your 1099-G information.
