A 1099-G can report several things. 

 

If it is for unemployment, it will be for unemployment you received in 2020;

HOWEVER, if it is for a State Tax Refund, the program might ask about your 2019 Tax Return because a state tax refund received in 2020 would have been for the state tax return you filed for tax year 2019.

 

Please verify that you are entering the 1099-G in the correct section.
