I have two employer state ID. Employer has separate State ID solely for Unemployment Tax. How do I report this tax?

The 2nd state employer ID is for the state tax withheld.

Can you elaborate on your question?

 

Did you receive two Form 1099-G's for unemployment?

 

Or did you receive one Form 1099-G, but you have two states listed?

 

If you only have one Form 1099-G, you can add the other state in Box 10a by selecting +Add another state as shown in the sample input screen below.  This will be entered in the screen titled Now fill in the rest of your 1099-G details.

 

 

You want to make sure you list the state and any withholdings correctly so you get credit for any income taxes withheld in each state.  This will affect your overall tax refund or liability.

According to the TurboTax phone call, she told me to add the unemployment tax row with the state tax row. That did the trick.
