Question

1099-G form is inaccurate.

My 1099-G form I have on the unemployment website I use shows the total I was able to claim, not that amount I have received thus far. Turbo Tax is asking for the amount received. Is it okay to do the math and enter in an accurate amount?

The problem you're going to run into is the IRS is going to rely on 1099-G they receive.

I assume your 1099-G is for more money than you think you received. 

If you use your amount you'll get a letter in several months, to a year or more saying they have different information and that you owe more money, plus interest.

I recommend that you call the state agency and try to sort this out.
