I elected to have taxes withheld from PA Unemployment Compensation Payments. It shows on the US-1099G form, though I don't see where to enter that amount.

You would enter your Federal (& state) Tax withheld from your Form 1099-G unemployment as follows:

Click on Search in the upper right of your TurboTax screen
Type "1099-G" in your search bar and hit enter
Click on the link "Jump to 1099-G"
Your screen will say Unemployment and (Paid Family Leave)
Check the box "Yes" I received unemployment or paid family leave on Form 1099-G and "Continue"
Your next screen says "Enter your 1099-G info"
Fill in that information and select "Continue" On the next screen you will enter your federal tax withheld
