I have both 1099-G and 1099-Misc, both are from Oregon Employment Department. Should these to be combined?

Each form should be entered separately in TurboTax as they usually report different types of income:

  1. 1099-G: This form typically reports unemployment compensation or state tax refunds.
  2. 1099-MISC: This form reports miscellaneous income, such as medical leave benefits.

First enter your  1098-G using steps below:

 

If your 1099-G shows an amount in box 1, go here for alternate instructions, as the steps below won't work.

Otherwise, if your 1099-G has amounts in box 2, follow these instructions:

TurboTax Online

  1. Go to the the Did you have any of these types of income? screen and select Yes.
  2. On the State and local tax refunds and other government payments screen, select State or local income tax refunds even if not reported on Form 1099-G and select Continue.
  3. On the Did you get a state or local tax refund in 2024? screen, select Yes.
  4. On the Tell us about your refund screen, enter your total refund received in 2024.
    • Enter the amount in box 2 (state or local income tax refunds, credits, or offsets).
    • If you received multiple 1099-Gs for the same state or locality, both with the same tax year in box 3, enter the box 2 sum.
    • For example, you received two 1099-Gs from Colorado. They both have 2024 in box 3, and their box 2 amounts are $1,000 and $800 respectively. You'd enter $1,800 in Total refund received in 2024.
  5. Enter your total of all your payments and withholding.
    • Enter the total taxes you paid to the state or locality for the same tax year as the refund (this includes withholdings as well as estimated tax and other payments).
    • You can get this amount from your state or local tax return for the tax year of the refund. Look for a line near the bottom, often bolded, that includes the phrase total payments.
  6. Enter tax year of refund, which is box 3 of your 1099-G.

Next enter your 1098-MISC using steps below:

 

You don't need to combine your 1099-G and 1099-MISC forms. Each form reports different types of income and should be entered separately in TurboTax:

  1. 1099-G: This form typically reports unemployment compensation or state tax refunds.
  2. 1099-MISC: This form reports miscellaneous income, such as medical leave benefits.
  3. Navigate to the 1099-MISC section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1099-MISC.
    • TurboTax Desktop: Search for 1099-misc and select the Jump to link.
  4. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?
    • If you have already entered a 1099-MISC, on the 1099-MISC Summary screen select Add another 1099-MISC.
  5. Enter the info from your form into the corresponding boxes.
    • If you need to enter boxes 4–6 or 8–17, select My form has other info in boxes 1–18 to expand the form.
