1099-g doesn't have the description of payment that I got it for--not a grant not a farm??

i just want to put in the correct response

[Heather14]

Who sent it?  That might help figure out what it is for.

[angel041595]

Illinois department of revenue

[angel041595]

I don't remember any payments either

[Heather14]

That should be a state refund.  Does it match the amount of your refund from last year?

[angel041595]

no it has 2015 on it and really don't know why

[angel041595]

I really really don't remember ever getting any checks for that amount ever

[Heather14]

You could call them and ask what it was for, but it sounds like it was a refund for your 2015 state taxes.

Does a 2015 state tax refund get reported in 2016 when you receive it? I'm not sure as we don't have a state income tax in our state. I think you were trying to enter it in the wrong location. You were using "Other 1099-G Income". Use State and Local 1099-G.
