Sounds like you are in the wrong place.

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.

Unemployment has its own section. How do I report unemployment if I didn't get a 1099-G?
