Have you received the actual Form 1099-G from the state?  If so, what income is being shown on the form?

I received a fradulant claim that I received unemployment income.  I checked with the state and they said they would send out a corrected form showing I did not receive this income.  Should I leave off of my turbo tax form?

I recommend waiting until you receive the corrected 1099-G form to complete your tax return. 

 

This will ensure you have the support needed to file an accurate income tax return.  The corrected 1099-G form will be the most accurate information and can be reported as needed on your tax return.
