How do you file taxes on GA unemployment? Will they send me a form to use with the state tax ID number?

They will send a 1099-G and it will have the state tax ID number.

If GA does not mail out the 1099G's then go to the unemployment website and use the same password etc that you use to certify and get the 1099G from the site---later in January

 

 

Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return.  Enter your 1099G for unemployment in Federal>Wages and Income>Unemployment

You might need to get your 1099G from the state’s unemployment site when it becomes available in January.
