    Do you need to enter a 1099 G?  Is it for Unemployment or a state tax refund?  What box is the amount in?

     

    How to enter a 1099G for Unemployment

    https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/where-do-i-report-a-1099-g-for-unemployment-or-paid-family-leave/00/26530

     

    To enter a state refund just type  1099-G (with the dash)  in the search box at the top of your return and click on Jump To it.

     

    OR  Enter the 1099G under

     Federal on left

    Wages & Income at top

     Scroll down to 1099-Misc and  Other Common Income

          You might need click on Show More to expand the section

     

    Then it's the first line for Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns - Click Start

         You do not want the next line that says Other 1099G Income

     

    On the first screen check YES - Received a State Refund.

     

    Enter the amount and continue on and after a couple screens, it will ask you a couple questions to determine if it's taxable.  It may or may not be taxable.  It is taxable if you itemized deductions the year it is from.  If you took the standard deduction it is not taxable. If you filed form 1040A or 1040EZ you took the standard deduction and don't have a schedule A, so the refund is not taxable.

    What is your question about Form 1099-G? This is a message forum, not live chat. You have to post all the details of your question and wait for someone to respond.


    A Form 1099-G can be for a number of different kinds of payments. Are you asking about a 1099-G for unemployment, for a state income tax refund, or some other type of payment?

     

    What year is the 1099-G for?

     

    Are you using TurboTax Online or the CD/Download TurboTax software?
