I tried it and it went in on the correct line.

I suspect that you entered the Unemployment 1099-G on the wrong line on the Wages&Income page back in the Federal Taxes section.

Go back and remove your entry and put it in the correct spot.

On the Wages&Income page there are actually 3 different entry lines for 1099-G forms

1)  "Unemployment and Paid Family Leave"   (this is where yours belongs).

2)  "Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns"  (not here)

3)  "Other 1099-G"  (this is where you accidently entered it...take it out )

What if I already filed my return?

Wait for any original refund from your first filing (or pay it's balance due if you owed for that)....and after that happens...Then you might need to Amend and mail in your amended state tax return  (Federal shouldn't need amending for that).
