Entering 1099-G not filling on form

[crash1183]

I received a 1099-G for unemployment compensation for Oct-Dec 2020 to which I reported when prompted. I also received another 1099-G form for a taxable grant for small businesses for the Wisconsin-administered CARES ACT grant program. I entered this form under Misc Income when prompted. The 1099-G form for the taxable grant only has one box on the form i received in the mail, Box 6. When i submit the form only populating Box 6 and leaving everything else blank that it tells me that it needs review. Why is this happening?

I would enter the income differently.

In TurboTax Self-employed, I was able to enter a 1099-G box 6 taxable grant income and successfully Review.  Follow these steps: 

• Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
• Click on Income & Expenses.
• Under Your Income and expenses, scroll down to Other Common Income.  Click Show more.
• Click Start / Revisit to the right of Other 1099-G income.
• At the screen What type of payment did you receive? select Taxable grant.
• Enter box 6 income.

That is the exact spot I entered it but it doesn't like that all other fields are left blank. Keeps telling me to review it. 👎

Perhaps there is a stray digit in one of the entry boxes.

You may want to try deleting the entry by clicking the trashcan icon to the right of the entry at:

Federal / Income & Expenses / Other 1099-G Income.

Then re-enter the 1099-G using the instructions.
