Box 10a would be the two-letter State Abbreviation (IL).  10b would be the 'Payer's ID' which may be at the top or bottom of your Form 1099-G.

Thank you.  I thought I read somewhere that if your 1099 does not list 10a or 10b to leave them blank.   If that is not the case, I have the following information:

Year

Total Benefits Payable

Total State Tax Withholding

Total Federal Withholding

IDES FEIN

 

Would IDES FEIN be the Payer's ID?  I already entered that information.

10a is IL

10b IDES FEIN - your payer's ID, the federal EIN

Box 1 - total benefits payable

Box 4 - federal withholding

Box 11 - state withholding

 

If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15.  See if you need to file a state extension Any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.  Pay through either Direct Pay or your individual online account. To set up a payment plan, see Find details on payment plan types
