Is the 1099-G the only form used for taxes to account for both PUA (unemployment) and the additional 600 per week benefit that was given for a period of time?

I did elect to have taxes taken out of PUA payments but know there is tax on the 600 needed to be paid

Yes, unemployment benefits are reported to you on 1099-G.

 

The good news is the the IRS has reviewed the first round of Unemployment Calculation Exclusion (UCE)  for about 21,000 filers.  

 

Hopefully, you will hear soon regarding your return.

 

The bill makes the first $10,200 of federal unemployment income ($20,400 for married filing jointly) tax-free for households with income less than $150,000. The legislation excludes only 2020 federal unemployment benefits from taxes, not unemployment income received in 2021.

 

  • If you already filed your 2020 tax return, you do not need to do anything to get these additional unemployment benefits. The IRS announced that they will automatically adjust your return and send any additional refund amount directly to you. However, some people may now be newly eligible for additional deductions and credits not already included on the original tax return. In these cases, you will likely want to amend your return to claim these additional dollars. Additional information on this is below.
