Where do I enter my 1099-G form on Turbotax?

What did you receive the 1099-G for?

You can do a search for 1099-G from inside your return, and in the results you should see a "Jump to" link for it. If you don't see the "Jump to" link, you can always do the following:

1. Open your return
2. Go to the Federal Taxes tab
3. Select Wages & Income
4. Hit See List of All Income
5. Look for the 1099-G form under the Unemployment and Paid Family Leave section

how can i file 1099-g taxas from2018 on turbotax

@miguellopez1

If you have a 1099-G for state income tax refund, follow these steps. 

1. With your return open in TurboTax, search for 1099-G or 1099-g and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.

• Important! Make sure to include the dash in your search, or you'll end up on the unemployment/paid family leave screen.

1. On the Did you have any of these types of income? screen, answer Yes.
2. On the next screen, select State or local income tax refunds and click Continue.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your state/locality, refund amount, and tax year.

You would need to amend 2018 to include any information from 2018.

@SoniaR733  To a fairly old thread about where to enter a 1099G, you posted one word today:  "Copy."  Was that supposed to be a question?  Do you need help with something?

@flyty-123 It's hard to figure out what you are trying to ask since you are using so few words.   Are you asking if you need to enter unemployment on a tax return?  Yes, you do.

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return.

You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.

Some states will mail out the 1099G.  Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site.

Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment

Go through the screens very carefully, making sure to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.

edd unemployment 

[Boom400]

what if the 1099G form is the only thing you have to file? How do I report it or file it? I did not work due to the pandemic but I did receive unemployment. How would I go about filing only the 1099G?

@Boom400 Click this link for instructions on How to Enter a 1099-G for Unemployment or Paid Family Leave.

You can file a tax return with only a 1099-G.

Thank you so much. I’ve never gone through this before and I was so worried. Thank you
