1099-G Government Overpayment

Akaur1 — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 23:36:32 GMT

I received a 1099G for State or Local Refunds and entered it within my Federal return under other uncommon income. When I went to complete the State Return, this is not showing up on my Schedule W for my Rhode Island Return. I do not have a schedule W that is self populating or any options to generate it. How can I update? Thank you!

A 1099-G for state tax refund does not have any state tax withheld and does not go on schedule W. Only items which have state tax withheld are listed on the schedule W. You should have W2s or 1099s with state tax withheld listed on the sch W. If you did not have any state tax withheld, there would not be a form. Estimates are not included on that form.

If you had state tax withheld on W2 or 1099s and the form is not generating, there is another issue. Are you using online or desktop version?

Thank you! I only have items listed within Box 2 of my 1099-G and it is listed as a refund so I think that might be why there is no Schedule W generating. I am using the Desktop version.

Perfect! I am so glad we were able to clear that up. You are in great shape to move forward now.
