    Hi - When I get to the second screen nothing matches my 1099-G. Only 2 boxes are filled on my form = 2 ($645) and 3 (2018). Nothing seems applicable!

    This screen?  After you have selected your state, You enter the amount from box 2 in the box for Total Refund Received in 2019

     

    Are you referring to this box - Total of all your payments and withholding?

     

    That amount is from your state tax return for 2018 for your state tax payments -

    Add up any payments you made to your state or locality, along with any state or locality withholdings from the previous tax year, including:

    - Amounts withheld on your W-2, W-2G, and 1099
    - Estimated tax payments for 2018
    - Add any paid in 2019 for 2018 (it's common for the fourth quarterly payment to be made in January)
    - Overpayment from 2017 applied toward your 2018 return
    - Payments made with an extension of time to file
    - Payments made when you filed your return
    - Refundable credits

    How do we fill out line 10b on the 1099-G form for DC if there is no line 10b. Yes, I had taxes taken out but all I have is the Federal I.D Number. What should be entered for that space? Can I leave it blank since it is not on my form?

    You'll need to contact the issuer of Form 1099-G -- probably the DC Department of Employment Services, if the form reflects unemployment -- to get the information. 

    The ID number may be the same as the Payer's TIN in the upper left of the return, but you need to make sure.

    You indicate that you had state taxes withheld, so you apparently have an amount on line 11 (State income tax withheld).  If that's the case, TurboTax will require an entry in line 10b.
