My 1099G does not have state ID number, agriculture payments, or RTAA payments

To clarify, what is this 1099-G reporting? 

What kind of payment was it? 

1099-G is unemployment

The IRS does not use state ID numbers on Form 1099-G.  You may use any random number-letter combination if you can not proceed without a state ID number @iannlee

So, to be clear and safe, should I just enter the federal ID as the state ID? Also, since my 1099-G did not mention agriculture payments or RTAA payments, should I enter those as $0.00?

If the 1099-G is reporting unemployment, I think you are trying to enter it in the wrong section in TurboTax.

There are several different 1099-G Forms. If you are seeing Box 2 through 9 on the screen, delete that entry. 

Please go back to Income

Scroll down to Unemployment located below Wages and Salaries

Enter your 1099-G from unemployment. 

You will not be asked for the state ID

You will not be asked about those other types of payments. 

RTAA Payments is somehow showing up as a line item with zero amount in my Federal return, last page under "Schedule 1: Additional Income and Adjustments to Income/Other Income".  It is an attachment.

I have never received such payments and I recall one of the "Other 1099G Income" questions was asking if I had received a1099G which I clicked the No button.

Both returns are ready to be filed except with this one line item showing up which doesn't apply to my circumstances.  Should I submit with this line item anyways since it is showing zero which is correct, or do I need to find out how to delete this line item?  Did I miss something somewhere?  I feel like this line item really doesn't belong in my Federal return.

Second note...CA return doesn't show this line item on same attachment.

Thanks.

The Schedule 1 form, is where additional income and adjustments to income, such as capital gains, unemployment compensation, prizes/awards, or gambling winnings,  are reported in detail and then summarized on your 1040 form. You can check to see if you have any of these income items listed under the wage and income section of your return and delete them if they do not apply.  Since you answered a question regarding a 1099-G this is likely the form that may be listed on the schedule 1 form.  To review you can follow these steps:

1. Click Wage & Income
2. Review the Your income and expenses section for the following:
   • Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns
   • Other 1099-G Income
   • Unemployment
3. Click Review/Edit next to any that appear
4. Click Delete or the trash can item next to any that do not belong on your return

Thank you @BrittanyS .  

I followed your instructions and it is where Other 1099G Income screen that they asked me if I had received a 1099G and I clicked "No".  There isn't a line item for me to delete.

I also checked under "Miscellaneous Income" where I do have other items listed, but RTAA is not one of them.

The Schedule 1 is used to report income such as capital gains, alimony, unemployment payments, gambling winnings, or some adjustments such as student loan interest deduction and educator expenses.  Do you have any of these types of income or expenses?  

If not, you can follow these steps to delete the Schedule 1 form, and it should clear the $0 you are getting:

1. Click Tax Tools from the left-side panel
2. Click Tools
3. Click Delete a Form
4. Select Delete Schedule 1
5. Confirm Delete Selected Form
6. Click Continue

@ALT501 

@BrittanyS yes I have unemployment income and I listed my $350 MCTR, and some small miscellaneous class settlement checks.  Therefore I cannot delete this form.

@BrittanyS 

There is a screen that I accidentally clicked the second button which I cannot un-click. I wonder if this triggers the RTAA line item.

It is under:

--State Return

-- CA Credits and Taxes

--Credit Recapture

--Community Development Financial Institution Investment Credit Recapture

It has an amount field which I left it at zero, and two option buttons. The question was if the balance of your qualified investment after withdrawal $50,000 or more?  First button was "Yes, balance was $50,000 or more" and second button was "No, balance was under $50,000".  I should have left both buttons alone since this is not applicable to me.  However I accidentally clicked the second button.  I tried to “un-click” the second button but it doesn’t allow me to. I gave up and proceeded with the rest of the input. 

Do you think this is why it populated a line item in my Schedule 1? 
Is there a way to undo my input, clearing this particular screen only as I don't want to clear the whole CA State return.   

Thank you very much for your help and time. 

No, the data entered from the California State return will not reflect on the Federal Return's Schedule 1.  I've run a few scenarios as a dummy return, and it appears the amount is showing up on the schedule 1 from the MCTR credit.  At this point, the form should be entered on the federal return, but the IRS has not made the income taxable at this point.  This is why the amount is showing up as $0.  

@ALT501 

Thank you. But this line item is RTAA, not MCTR. 
My friend already filed her tax returns thru TT and her MCTR input didn’t trigger a line item that says RTAA. 

The RTAA is listed under other common income; follow these steps to confirm that the selection did not default when you entered your "Other 1099-G":

1. Click Wage and Income
2. Click revisit beside Other 1099-G Income
3. Click Edit beside each 1099-G you have listed in this section and check the following:
   1. Indicate who received the 1099-G
   2. Verify the address, click continue
   3. Verify the type of payment; RTAA will be listed here as an option

Here is a screenshot of where the RTAA selection is made:

@ALT501 

Also, when you verify the payment is designated correctly, please verify that $0 is not entered into box five on the next screen.  A Screenshot is shown below:

@ALT501 

I went to Other 1099-G Income and hit Revisit. 
The next page listed various types of government payments and yes it includes RTAA. (Sorry I don’t know how to do a screen shot to show you.)Then a question “Did you receive any of these payments reported on Form 1099-G”. I clicked “No. I didn’t receive a 1099-G for any of these payments.”  I don’t have any 1099G income. 

My other income such as MCTR and small settlement checks showing on Schedule 1 I input them under..

—Wages and Income

—Miscellaneous Income , 1099-A, 1099-C

—Other reportable income (I input them manually with Description and amount since I don’t have 1099s for them)

Thats why it’s a head scratcher as to why there is an RTAA line item showing up on Schedule 1 (0 amount) when I haven’t even clicked anything regarding that. 
I am wondering if there is no way to eliminate that line item, can I just submit it since it is zero in amount?  Would this cause delay or questioning from IRS?

And that other screen  I made the wrong input  under Community Development Financial Institution Investment Credit Recapture where I am unable to un-click the button, I guess I would have to just leave it like that. 

BTW, I am a new user with TurboTax. 

Since the amount is $0 and does not apply to you, it should not affect your return.  However, I am interested to find out why this is occurring in the first place.  More than likely, an interview questions may have been asked during the step-by-step process that initiated the $0 entered into schedule 1.  

As for the CA entry, since you clicked no, it won't be able to issue a form related to the credit recapture.  

As a review you can check all entries of your return by reviewing the tax summary in TurboTax Online by following these steps:

1. Click Tax Tools
2. Click Tools
3. Click View my tax summary
4. Toggle between summaries by clicking Fed Tax Summary or CA Tax Summary

Hello.  I spent about 1.5 hour on the phone with TT Customer Support.  They shared my screen with an Expert and they also couldn't figure out why the RTAA line item was showing up on Schedule 1.  They think it may be a glitch and said since the balance is zero, it shouldn't affect my taxes.

Also, that page in State Returns/CA Credits and Taxes/Credit Recapture/Community Development Financial Institution Investment Credit Recapture; they agreed there is no way to un-click the button I accidentally clicked.

They told me to sign off from TT, delete my cookies, shut down computer and sign back on to see if the glitch would be fixed automatically.  I did all that but to no avail.

I guess I will just have to submit the returns as is once IRS decides if the MCTR is taxable on Federal level.

I want to thank you once again for your assistance and effort to solve my problems.  Much appreciated!!!  Thank you for your patience too 🙂
