Go to your state's unemployment werbsite to get the 1099-G (not W2).

You get a 1099G for unemployment.  See answer above your post.

@Iaf44 You do not get a W-2 for unemployment benefits.  You get a 1099G, and no, TurboTax cannot get it for you.  You have to get it yourself.  Usually you need to go to the state's unemployment web site to get it and print it out.  To enter it on your tax return, go to Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment /Government benefits on Form 1099G

 

There are some employers who make W-2's available for import to TurboTax, but not all do this.  And it is late in the year, so it might not even still be available for import at this time.  You might have to ask your employer for a copy of the W-2 that was issued in January.
