It depends.
Form 1099-G could be issued for several reasons including:
- State or local income tax refunds
- Unemployment compensation
- Paid family leave
You need to enter the amounts from your 1099-G on your income tax return.
I have attached instructions to guide you with the input depending upon whether it was issued from an income tax refund, unemployment, or paid family leave.
1099-G input for paid family leave or unemployment
If you had any of the items above but did not receive a Form 1099-G, you may need to contact your state to request a replacement copy.
If you need assistance with this, please comment with your state and we can direct you on who to contact to request your form if needed.
