Boxes don't match on turbotax to 1099G. TurboTax box4 is Fed withheld & my 1099G box4 is State withheld, #3 is Fed. What do I enter for #4 Fed withholding, box 3 or 4?

Sounds like they are using there own non-standard form with different box numbers so that is what I would do.

Thanks for your help.

I had the same question, but I found there's a specific category called "Unemployment and paid family leave (1099-G)". Under this category the numbers from my EDD matched up with turbo tax's format.

Hope this helps. 🙂

I am trying to enter in the return to work bonus from this year during the pandemic - I am on the unemployment 1099-G page but the boxes do not match for the return to work bonus. Have you had any luck with that particular 1099- G form?

@juliekhachtel They may be using a non-standard 1099-G form as mentioned by @macuser_22 above. Try to match the descriptions on your 1099-G to the box descriptions in TurboTax.

Bonuses are often reported on a 1099-Misc or on your W-2, if your employer paid the bonus.

However, if a governmental agency paid the bonus on a 1099-G, it may be included in the total unemployment in Box 1.
