Unemployment compensation received in 2018 cannot be entered on a 2019 tax return.

To clarify, I received unemployment insurance income in 2018, and NO unemployment insurance in 2019.
I included that 1099-G income in my 2018, so this question is not about 2018.

Right now, when trying to complete the 2019 return, I answer "NO" when asked if I received unemployment insurance income, because I did NOT receive any of that 1099-G income.
However, the tax program does not acknowledge my "NO" input, so it rolls over to "Not Started", over and over.
Do I just ignore the fact that the program is ignoring my response of "NO" 1099-G income in 2019?

Thank you.

Ignore the Not Started.

At the end of completing your tax return if the program whats you to enter unemployment then there is probably a Form 1099-G in your forms list that needs to be deleted.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on Delete a form
