It is entered in the same place as unemployment, so that is fine. But you do not need to mark taxable grant. If there was tax withheld on your 1099-G, you should enter that amount when prompted. If you entered it in the wrong place, delete the entry and re-enter it in the correct spot.

It depends on what box number the income is in. If the income is in:

Box 1 - 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave
Box 2 - 1099-G for a state or local refund - do not use this or the taxable grant entry.

Use the link that corresponds with the type of 1099-G you received. The screen should look like the one below:
