Yes, you should change your W-2 entry if you really got a 1099-G.

To clear the W-2 entry:

Log into TurboTax.
Select Federal
Wages & Income
Select Wages & Salaries.
Identify the W-2 [Edit/Add]
Delete the record

To enter the 1099-G

Go back to Wages & Income
Choose between
1. Unemployment 1099-G or
2. Other common Income
  1. Other 1099-G income
  2. This is everything except unemployment.

If you've already filed your return you can Amend it.

Yes---a mistake like that has to be corrected. Did you e-file already? What is the 1099G for----is it for unemployment? A state or local refund? A government grant of some sort? We need to know what it was for so we can help you enter it correctly.
