Unemployment claimants who return to work may be eligible for a one-time bonus of $2,000.  Bonuses will be awarded after the individual has stopped receiving unemployment benefits and has completed the work requirements with a qualifying employer. DES will issue payments via direct deposit. Alternative electronic payment methods may become available at a later date.

 

To enter other reportable income, on a 1099-MISC form, follow these steps:

  1. Sign into your TurboTax account.
  2. Select Federal from the left side menu.
  3. Type 1099-Misc in the search bar and click on Jump to 1099-misc.
  4. On the Did you get a 1099-MISC? screen, select Yes. If you come to the 1099-MISC Summary screen, select +Add Another 1099-MISC located under the Total.
  5. On the Let’s get the info from your 1099-MISC screen, enter the information on the form and Continue.
  6. On the Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC screen, enter description "Arizona Return to Work Payment"
  7. On the Does one of these uncommon situations apply? screen, if you select any option other than None of these apply, continue with the onscreen interview until complete.
  8. If you select None of these apply, continue with the onscreen interview and answer the additional questions about the income.
  9. On the Did the XXX involve work that’s like your main job? screen, select No, it didn’t involve work like my main job. 
  10. On the How often did you get income for XXX? screen, select I got it in 2021. 
  11. On the Did the XXX involve an intent to earn money? screen, select No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn many and Continue.
