Question

1099-G Box 2

I don't know where to enter 1099-G box 2. I believe this amount has something to do with an unemployment offset.

Thanks in advance.

Level 15

Box 2 of form 1099-G does not relate to unemployment at all.

Box 2 reports state and local tax refunds, credits or offsets. Most commonly, it is for a state tax refund.

Please read this TurboTax Help topic on how to enter it in TurboTax.

Thanks for your comment but sorry, this isn't common. I was unemployed and I believe it the state's way of handling the pandemic unemployment money from the federal government. I didn't get this money directly. My box 1 seems over inflated and this should be a deduction in my opinion.

It has nothing to do with 2019 either.
