Yes, use the numbers provided on your 1099-G even if box numbers are missing. Compare the descriptions to the corresponding boxes on your TurboTax screen. Your payment would be in Box 1; your Federal Tax Withheld would be in Box 4; your state information would be in Boxes 10 & 11.

Form 1099-G, which is for certain government payments, does vary by state because each state (as well as local governments), can issue their own version to report unemployment compensation or tax refunds. They do follow IRS guidelines but can differ in layout or format due to different state-specific tax laws, deductions, or credits.

You can view a copy of Form 1099-G that has the box numbers on it here. See Form 1099-G Also see Instructions for Form 1099-G
