Can anyone help me understand how to file my 1099-G from Instacart delivery? Do I choose that I am self employed? If so do I need to say that I'm required to send 1099's?

Form 1099-G is used to report certain government payments, not compensation. Compensation is on Form 1099-NEC.

1099-G

 

Federal, state, or local governments file this form if they made payments of:

• Unemployment compensation.
• State or local income tax refunds, credits, or offsets.
• Reemployment trade adjustment assistance (RTAA) payments.
• Taxable grants.
• Agricultural payments.

You can do a search for 1099-G from inside your return, and in the results you should see a "Jump to" link for it. If you don't see the "Jump to" link, you can always do the following:

1. Open your return
2. Go to the Federal Taxes tab
3. Select Wages & Income
4. Hit See List of All Income
5. Look for the 1099-G form under the Unemployment and Paid Family Leave section
