To enter your 1099-G for unemployment:

  • Click Federal Taxes > Wages & Income
  • Scroll down to Unemployment
  • Click Start next to Unemployment and Family Paid Leave
  • Proceed through the interview to enter your 1099-G information.
  • When you get to the screen that asks What's the total amount you received on your 1099-G?, check the box next to Federal or state income tax was withheld on this payment. (see screenshot)
