If I received NO unemployment or Assistance in 2021 why do I need a 1099-G or Why can't I skip this in TurboTax??

I did not receive any benefits (unemployment or otherwise) in 2021. Why is TurboTax insisting that I claim I did or that I have a 1099-G?
If I received no benefits. I will not receive a 1099-G!

It has carried over from 2020.  Go to the section of Wages & Income for Unemployment Compensation and click the little garbage can to the right of the form you entered last year.  If that doesn't work you can delete the form directly-

 

 To Delete a form:

  1. Select Tax Tools from the menu on the left
  2. Then select Tools
  3. When the new menu pops up select Delete a Form
  4. You will see a list of all the forms in your return
  5. Find the form that you want to delete
  6. Select the Form
  7. Click Delete on the right 

Tax forms are interconnected.  While you are in this screen don’t start deleting forms you don’t recognize.
