I had the EXACT same problem, and I did the same thing, entered it as a 1099 G because thats what its supposed to be, misc is literally for contractor work and taxed way differently and more, so I entered it as a 1099 G, and mine went through just fine, until I got my return and it was like half of what it was supposed to be. it was supposed to be like 3400, and I got like 1700, which is what turbo tax was saying it would be when I first entered it as a 1099 misc. So, seems like IRS just changed it to 1099 misc themselves, and Im pretty irritated about it because maternity leave and disability income should not be taxed like independent contractor work thats crazy!!!!! and Ive seen a bunch of posts of people all having this same problem with their 1099s from oregon paid leave so I dont know what the deal is but its pretty annoying.
