As the unemployment office already withheld my taxes on my total unemployment in 2016, but has only reported the total compensation paid on the 2017 1099-G, what to do? I don't want to pay the same taxes twice!

Ok ... so the 2016 form was wrong in that is showed all the 2017 withholding on it but only the 2016 earnings? But you used that form to get a larger than normal refund in 2016 ? So now the 2017 form shows all the income but none of the withholding ? Well, you can't have it both ways ... you got the refund last year in error so now it's time to pay the piper.
However, if you got the 2016 corrected then you will also need to get the 2017 form corrected.
