What if my address on my Form 1099 is wrong?

 Yes. It happens all the time.@zoltanb is correct.  When you enter the 109-NEC, you have the chance to change the address listed for you on the screen. You want the form on the screen to match your form. You can also upload the form. Remember, the states and the fed talk taxes with each other. Report, pay, be at peace.

The locality listed is incorrect. My address had been updated since I stopped receiving unemployment (I understand the address listed on this doesn’t matter) but locality listed on my 1099-G is reflecting new address (different locality from when I had been receiving ue)

I am going to assume the new locality has a higher tax than the old one? For example, New York City has an additional tax that other parts of New York do not. If that is the case and the state erroneously typed in your new locality on the form, I would not fill it in. Leave it blank and just fill in the state. If they send a letter, you will just verify where you lived during the time you received the unemployment.

So, is the 1099 only "sent" to me? I do not live in NY. I do not want them coming after me to collect taxes. How do I change the 1099 address that you have on file for my 1099 tax forms?

What kind of 1099?  There are over a dozen kinds, 1099G,  1099R,  1099NEC, etc,  you have  to contact the issuer and give them your address.  

If it is for a 1099NEC for self employment you don't need to get the actual 1099NEC to report your income.  You can enter it as Cash or General income from your own records.

TurboTax does not have 1099's sent to you.   

  A 1099NEC is typically issued by an individual or business for whom you performed work as an independent contractor, so seek a copy from them if you did not save yours.  Many of the other types of 1099's are issued by banks, brokerages and other financial institutions from which you can seek copies.

If your address changed it is up to you to inform the issuers of 1099's about your new address.  And make sure you have filed a change of address with the post office to have your mail forwarded to the new address.
